Layout about giving my puppy away. Tag was his, info has been blurred out. Journaling reads: Not meant to be… I was so excited to get a new puppy in July. A mini dachshund whom I named Bingley. I knew I wanted to call him Darcy after the main character in Pride and Prejudice…..but it became obvious that my happy puppy needed the name of Darcy's friend instead. So Bingley it was. The first couple of months at home went pretty well. Bingley was tiny and slept a lot in his crate and I was constantly at his side when he was awake. But as he got older and had the run of the house, we discovered that the cats hated him. Absolutely hated him. Next came months of trying to keep the three separated. We would put the cats in the guest room so Bingley could run freely without fear. I bought a playpen for Bingley…he could manipulate the pen and push it around- so that didn't work. I tried no-no spray for the cats, water spray bottles, noise (for Zeus); all to no avail. The routine that followed was Bingley having to be at my feet when loose the house. He was not a coward….not at all. He always seemed to hold out hope that they could all be friends. But over and over again if Bingley strayed away from me he would be attacked from under the table, the couch, the desk, the hallway….claws bared, the cats attacked. Finally it just got to be too much. I was worried for his safety and frankly tired of the 24/7 supervision. I just couldn't get rid of the cats. That would crush Daniel. White Cat is deaf and would be hard to place. Plus, I had not connected with Bingley like I had hoped. And at ten months, a beautiful pedigreed miniature dachshund had a chance for a wonderful home. I found him that home in March and I took him to live with his new owner. A very nice woman with other dachshunds, a large fenced in yard, and no cats! She emails me from time to time and reassures me how happy he is. It was a hard decision…..but I really think the right one. Maybe I will get another dog one day. An older one (and larger than my cats) that will cuddle with me and put its head in my lap. For now, I will be happy knowing Bingley is part of a loving home.Thanks for looking!
