About 16 weeks ago, my mom came home with a German Shepard puppy that was just born. We have a very small home, so keeping it was a problem, but we did get a pen built. The puppy is very hyper, prone to biting when it gets overexcited, chases the cats and gets into everything it can. Me and her together could handle it, but my mom passed away suddenly just three days ago. I am alone with the dog and two cats in this small home. When trying to bring it in tonight, to see how it would act back inside, the dog got excited, started biting and even in it's crate, it would not calm down.
I find myself faced with the possibility of rehoming it. My sister has offered to take it in, and I fear I would be asking a great deal from her, to take on such a pet. At the same time, I feel like the idea of giving it up is dishonoring my mother's memory as this was a dog she wanted. But I can't handle it. I am trying to handle funeral arrangements, and find a new normal, and I simply cannot handle it. With the cold spike about to hit, I am considering the costly option of putting the dog into a pet hotel, for a week, till the funeral has passed.
I don't know how to handle this. I wish I didn't have to.
