Question:

: : HI:
: : I have a 5 year old female JRT. I have recently took on another job and had to move to a small apartment. She has to be crated more and can't get out and run like she did before. I know she isn't happy with this life. I found a couple who wants to buy her. They live out in the country and have a big fenced in yard and will spend a lot of time with her and give her the attention she needs. I know this is what I should do but I hate letting her go. Am I making the right decision? How do I get thru the pain?

: Hi Jennifer,
: None of us can tell you what to do, but you have to do what is best for the dog.
: Sorry I can't be of more help, but this is something that you need to decide.

Hi Jennifer,

I'm wondering if you & terrier would rather stay together in small confines than be apart? 5 years is a long time. You may want to think about how to adjust your lifestyle to keep you & JR together.

Best,
Judy
