went to a new home yesterday. We have been realizing that we got too enthusiatstic about our ability to raise so many dogs. I have been doing ALL of the work and it got to be overwhelming. Riley's dominance issues certainly didn't help issues either. I have been coping well enough but not really getting the enjoyment out of the dogs that I thought I should. Well, yesterday a man who works for my husband came to the house and everything clicked between him and Riley. He had recently lost his basset hound and was ready for a new friend. He has a huge yard and 3 kids for Riley to play with. He said he even wants to take Riley to work with him every day. I really think it was meant to be. The man said it was like he won the lottery! We made it clear that if anything didn't go right he could give him right back to us. He spoke to my husband this morning and said so far Riley is doing wonderfully and his kids adore him. I'm sort of sad and miss Riley but I'm happy for him because I think he went to a really nice home where he can be top dog and get all of the attention he needs.
