We have decided after a few changes in our life, we can not have our dog any longer. We are giving her to my sis-in-law who works in a special needs home (where the dog has been to visit & loved it). So we are going to donate her there, were she can have all the play time and attention that a wonderful Shih tzu needs. The problem is, my 3 yr old daughter is not adapting to the idea (even though she doesnt interact with our dog often). I told her that "we are going to let the doggy go live with the sick people so she can help them get better and you can visit her anytime".. but in response we're getting "no shes my puppy" with a sad lil heartbroken face. I am not sure what to do. We are tryin to do whats best for our family and the dog, and after long talks this is the way to go. I just dont know how to handle this regarding my daughter. I dont want to hurt her, this is hard enough for all of us, but we plan on doing this by Xmas. Advise anyone? Please...
