AITA - Dog fight, and what now? - UPDATE Post #60

From your posts, I think this is a wise, if difficult decision. The positive is that you know he will have a good landing. Hugs.

Which one doesn’t fit? And I’m guessing he/she is the boss. I have a friend w/ two border terriers, she loves them to pieces!

Sorry OP. Definitely sounds like you are making the right call. It will probably be best for all, in the end.

I hope this isn’t an insensitive question, and I really admire the decision you have made. Since it sounds like you bonded with the husky and he will be staying with the breeder’s partner, is there the possibility for the husky to rejoin your family were your elder dog to pass? Again, I don’t mean to poke at a future wound, and I can absolutely understand not wanting to keep that door open, even tentatively.

I don’t mind the question. We had that conversation, actually, and while it might be possible, I think its unlikely given the relative health and ages of the dogs. My vet actually professed our old dog to be the healthiest large breed 12 yo they’ve seen. He could be with us for quite a while. And I’m not sure I’d want to disrupt the husky’s life like that again if I could help it. I miss him, but I also get near daily pictures from the breeder, since she’s a close friend. And it makes me happy to see him be happy.

That absolutely makes sense. Glad to hear your dog is doing so well, and that the husky stays in your life in some way through photos from your friend. It sounds like you handled a really tough situation admirably.
