Selling my dog...

This is actually harder than a break up.

Bruno's has become more than a pet he is like a son.

He helped me massively when I was at a low point.

He gave me a reason to get up everyday, even when it's been really hard.

But my circumstances have changed. I don't have the capacity or the patience to juggle as much as I currently am.

I feel awful doing this because I wanted a dog for so long.

He has exceeded my expectations.

I won't say he's perfect because he is not, he's a terrier they're known for their mischievous side.

Unfortunately he likes to show that more often these days, because the dynamics have changed.

I just think stability and love is what he needs and he'd be better off with a family that can provide that.

I had to give up my dog/best friend once. It was one of the hardest things I ever did and I feel guilty to this day. I know he went to a good home. I was single parenting and working all day and he had to be in a crate. He was unhappy. Unhappy with me and I understood I couldn't let him live out his life neglected. When things were better we were inseparable. I rescued him and fostered his mom. I didn't have another dog for many years because I wanted to be certain I would be there for them.

Sometimes you have to do what's right for them even though it's hard. They depend on us.
