I've been around bullies my entire life. I've owned two since being an adult, but have NEVER had to contemplate giving up a dog. I am an "until death do us part" kind of person. My dogs are my world. However, I lost my husband of 29 years about 11 months ago and am about to lose my house and move in with my mom and although she loves my bully there are some health issues that are too disgusting for her to handle in her home. He has a bloody tail pocket and I've tried everything to get it healed. If it's not bleeding then its oozing.
So anyway with the health issue and the fact that I am going to have to get a part time job in addition to my full time job, I am at a loss. I just don't know what to do with my boy. Part of me feels it would be kinder to just put him to sleep so as not to have to go through any more loss or change, but I know that is me projecting my feelings. However, my mom tells me he acts depressed throughout the day, when I am away too much. (Right now she comes to my house during the day and lets him out and visits for about 30 minutes every afternoon with him while I work or if I have to be away).
I love this dog with all my heart but I just don't know what to do. Please any help or advise would be appreciated. I want to do what is best for him, but I'm just not sure what that is - even if it breaks my heart.
By the way he is four years old and the best most well behaved bully I have ever known which is why I love him soooo much. He has been a blessing from day one.
Sorry to ramble, I am just a mess over this whole situation.
