What a miserable week

It’s only Monday, so how do I know? Because today we had to do one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. One of our Springer Spaniels, Bowdry, had to be taken away today. Bo has been increasingly difficult. Growling, snarling and trying to out dominate his father. When he gets like this DD clasps her hand on his muzzle and drags him to his time out room.

Last night he was in her room, lying on the bed and when my DH came in, the dog growled and snarled. DH bent down to pet him and show him who was in control. Bo lunged and grabbed DHs face. DD then tried to grab him like she always does and he snapped at her.

DH grabbed the dog by the throat and tossed him into the back yard. It was below freezing and rain was pouring so we convinced DH to let the dog sleep in a crate in DD’s room for the night. This morning DH went to let the dogs go out for the bathroom and Bo snarled at him again from behind the crate wires.

We took Bo to the local shelter and said our goodbyes. My DD is absolutely devastated. He was her dog from the day he was born. If this is any indication of how our week is going to be, I will remain in bed with the covers overhead until it passes.

Hope your week is much better!
Huggles,
