We have some sad news, but also some good news. A few weeks ago, we had an incidence with Bingo. He was under the dinner table hoping to catch some falling food from one of the boys. Caleb was done eating and decided to get under the table and pet him. The boys have never gotten under the table with him and he was very focused on watching for food. Unfortunately he nipped Caleb on the chin. He was reprimanded and put out for the night. We were faced with some tough decisions. In talking with a woman I work with who's husband is a vet, we were concerned he could have some food dominance issues. This would mean close monitoring and could we take the chance of this happening again? Fortunately she had a solution. We would see if we could find Bingo a home without small children as she didn't feel he would be a threat in the right situation. Also, she knew a woman who breeds long haired mini dachsunds who was looking to retire a few of her dogs. She felt this would be a good fit for our family. A lady I work with lost her dog to old age. She lives on her own and was really missing her companion and so she wondered if Bingo might come live with her. Bingo now has a good home with her and things seem to be working well, so after meeting us a couple of weeks ago, Noah joined our family yesterday. He is such a sweet little dog and it seems like he has taken to our family quite quickly. The lady who had him wanted to go to a home with a dog door. He is adjusting to his kennel in our sun room and our back yard. He loves the boys and will come into the house for short periods until he adjusts to our house a little better.
It just amazes me how things work out. We are a dog family and I think this has all happened so smoothly for a reason.
