Just a quick update on Harley dog.
We had the trainer come in and evaluate the dog a couple of times and she had a lot of good suggestions on how to "manage" the situation. That is exactly what needed to happen. The situation needed to be managed......constantly.
We needed a solution that wouldn't put our child or any other child at risk. My wife found some young university students on line that were interested in adopting an older dog that was a little less full on than getting a puppy and they didn't want to be tied to a dog for 12-14 years.
We met them and were very impressed with their responsibility and their level of commitment to Harley after they had a trial run with her for a few weeks.
The new owners have no contact with children and are well aware of her limitations with being exposed to young children.
So it looks like a win win situation. We were dreading the possible outcome of this situation as we were told that the local shelter would not accept her for adoption.
My wife was over to drop off some dog booties and some other things to the new people and Harley was quite at home. While she was exited to see my wife, she in no way was interested in leaving with her.....
Life is good and I feel that we have done the right thing!
Thanks for your input on this matter.
