So... it is with mixed feelings that we said "bye bye Kloee" yesterday. We had been having issues here and there with her, but things just intensified when we brought Nolan home. I was super sad to have to say good bye to her (the act of giving her away and knowing I'll never see her again), but I know that it was the best decision for us right now in our life. Kloee was having a hard time adjusting to not as much attention and exercise once Nolan came home. The bad: She was house broken but started doing her business inside. She started nipping at Alivia for no reason and making visible marks on her face. She barked a lot for no reason at all. She had major separation anxiety. The good: She was a fabulous fetch dog. She was cuddle dog. She was a good walking partner (unless greeted by another person or dog). She was just too darn cute. We will miss her good moments but not the crazy/jealous/not fun whatever you want to call it moments. I am already enjoying more peaceful moments and as a mom of two under two, I can appreciate that. Both kids are napping right now and I am relaxing in a bark free, quiet house. I hope Kloee finds a good home with a large back yard and receives lots of attention, love, and training!
Alivia woke up and said Kloee, but we explained to her that we already said "bye bye Kloee" yesterday, and she hasn't brought it up again. I think she will be ok with a dog free house. She absolutely loves dogs but we live in such a dog community that we see other dogs on a day-to-day basis.
