Today is a difficult day for me. I am saying goodbye to my Piper love. My sweet little puppy that I wanted so bad and drove all the way down to Southern Oregon to get. My cousin Elisabeth is taking her, and I am so happy that she will go to a good home. I am just disappointed that I am not the one that can give her the love and care that she needs. I don't think its fair to bring this sweet innocent puppy into my home and then have to give her away because I do not have the funds to properly train her.
Piper is the alpha, and she has been "marking" everywhere that my other dog likes to sleep. Bella's bed(s), my bed, the couch, my mom's bed. Not to mention my floor. Piper was almost completely house broken and then she just gave up. She will pee right in front of me, or in my bed when I am sleeping. She has even peed on my mom.... Of course this makes me angry and frustrated, but I feel like with a little work this problem can be solved. I am heartbroken that I have to give her away because of it. I know that everything going on with Blake is stressful, and its hard when I have to put Blake second because, I am taking the puppy out, or cleaning a puppy mess, etc. Blake isn't very nice to the puppy either, he often hits her, pulls her fur, and the other day I caught him biting her! Every time Piper finds a toy she wants to play with Blake takes it from her and then cries when she goes after him. Its stressful, I am hoping that I will feel a sense of relief when she goes... but right now I am just sad. I have been crying non-stop... it might have something to do with the fact that I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and the pain killers make me feel weird.
Piper will be living with my cousin/best friend Elisabeth in Puyallup. So she will only be about two hours away. I worry because they have a kitten, and they don't have a fenced yard. I know that Elisabeth is responsible and everything will be fine. I am just the biggest worrier. Piper will get to be around two adorable kids every other week who will just love her to death. Well, I better go put together her bag of belongings.
Until next time,
Arielle
