"I was not ever looking forward to posting about this. Our dog Pepper, that we adopted in May, will need to be re-homed. It will be the third pet that I have to say goodbye to that I deeply love within this year. When 2023 started, I wondered if I would lose any pet friends this year, and I think instead of whispering in my ear, life just decided instead to punch me in the stomach instead.

Pepper is a beautiful 9 year old black German Shepherd. Our resident dog, Blue, attacked Pepper back in June, causing $1200 in emergency vet visits, and from that point on, we had to keep the dogs completely separated. A trainer came in and after wasting $500 on them, they told us that we should consider re-homing pepper. Great.

I didn’t want to give up on her. I love this dog so much… but after consulting with a lot of people, we decided that it would never get better and that Pepper should be in an environment where she didn’t have to be near a dog that attacked her out of nowhere. Sure - between gates they will lick each other, but it’s that 1 time we have no warning where it becomes an issue. We don’t want the dogs harmed and we especially don’t want our kids or us harmed.

I write this as Pepper is next to me, sitting peacefully… unaware of what we’ve decided. I hate to do this to her, she is family to me… I wanted to be there when she passed away (hopefully many years away)…

All I can do is hug her as much as I can before we have to say goodbye.
