We love you Hummer and we are always happy to offer our advice if needed. Good luck with the whole situation.

Thanks guys. You have offered lots of great advice.

what's best for you and your human family is important, but in the end, what's most important is what's best for the dog you're trying to take care of. if his medical needs worsen, that would be even more of a strain on your family, and if you just aren't able to give him the care he truly needs (and I know you're trying your best to do so) it would honestly be the kindest thing to rehome him to someone who is able to do so

Well, like I said before when you brought it up the very first time months ago.. if he is seeming more of a chore and a financial burden, and you are not getting ENJOYMENT from him.. then it is in EVERYONE's best interest for him to find the home where he has people who can either accept the flaws he has and love him anyway or fix them. If he stresses you guys out.. he will sense that and that isn't something you want for the rest of his life..

@SCF, she does, but this past week she has been sick with a cold so I have been doing all the work and now I am drained and sick too.

My family has always been of the mindset that you no matter what happens you just grit your teeth and bear it and efforts to make things better are futile.

Hummer, I could be wrong.. but I am going to toss it out there.. your mom probably doesn't want to rehome because she feels she "made a promise" to the dog...she has "committed" to him... dogs don't sign contracts.. they don't know what a "broken deal" is.. I applaude her for wanting to stick with him.. but if she does NOT enjoy him... it is doing all of you a disservice. Does she walk him and play with him or is it all you?

@SCF, I think that is the best idea because no, she can't handle him on her own.

When I was 17 I thought it was a good idea to adopt a pet with full responsibility. Then he became very ill, and knowing I wasn't prepared financially for the vet bills to insue. So I knew I had to do the right thing and reach out. Unfortunately, my mother was in the same mindset that it was bad or like I was abandoning him. In my naivety, we got in a huge physical altercation and I surrendered him to her. She was unable to afford the vet bills in his serious neurological condition with seizures and he passed away. I have many regrets in that situation

Hummer are you able to stop helping with him? That would be my first step if she is dead set on not rehoming

Maybe what your mom needs is a little lap yapper who isn't as high energy but still has whatever qualities she wants in a dog

10:12:58 SCF/Gibbs

Hummer, remind her of that.. that if he is difficult now while you are there to help.. will she be able to handle him on her own without you..

10:12:25 Dimmed

Absolutely, Gibbs!

@SCF, thanks so much. I think you summarized it very well. I will definitely bring it up with my Mom again. Ultimately, the decision is hers though because she is the one paying for him and will be responsible for him when I move out in a few years.
