[Closed] Rehoming our beloved dog

Bingo the Westie is a very headstrong character. Very male and full of bristling life.

Slender, muscular, very healthy with a carefree outlook on life belying his 6yrs of age.

He loves humans, any human and he loves (contrary to the breed) young toddlers etc. Binners- remember your young one walking him round on his lead up and down your road?
He loves rough-play and he loves running around other small dogs in huge circles in the park.

Since the baby arrived he really hasn't coped well. Hes become very needy, starting pee'ing in the house and pacing around the bedroom at night unable to settle. I'll be honest we spoilt bingo rotten with attention before the baby came along. Not with cake or bad snacks but veg, lots of exercise, sat infront of the tv together and even cuddled up in bed.

We are struggling to cope with the lack of sleep and Bingo. Its stressing my partner out and we both love him but we can't cope and he is stressed out with the situation. We could have easily rehomed him three weeks ago with a good rescue charity and we could of course have just dumped him into any old home or just sold him for some money.

We've waited for a trained ex-vet who specialises in this breed to comeback from holiday who will take him on, foster him, thoroughly retrain him and match him through personal experience to the best possible new home.

The last few weeks have been horrendous with so many conflicting emotions going through my head. The guilt, the hope, the fear. Today I received a missed call. The lady is back from holiday and ready for him.

Yes. I will regret and mourn his leaving the instant he leaves. However my partner has had to return to work and he is on his own during the day as well. He needs someone who will be with him ALOT. He loves human companionship.

Please. Talk to me. Tell me we are doing the right thing?
