Elly, I sympathise with you and I know how you are feeling - once again you obviously had her best interests at heart. x

thanks all of you for your messages - I'm glad that I miss him - it makes me feel that I wanted him for the right reasons but gave him up for the right reasons too

Just a quick note for those of you who offered me such support when I had a breakdown a few weeks ago after bringing my puppy home... After much soul searching we returned Rogan to the breeder and whilst we can all recognise that the dog was by no means the cause of my breakdown it was...

We have just got back from returning puppy to his breeder, the kids were really brave and good and have been so supportive of me. I started to feel a little better as soon as the decision had been made. The breeder was a bit rude to me when we dropped him off but then phoned me to apologise 5...

thank you all - i will keep in touch

Thanks :D Thank You From the eldest daghter Gemma :D

After much thought and consideration and long talk with my husband and kids we have decided that the pup will go back to the breeder tomorrow (friday). The crisis counselling centre called me today and agree that if this is what I feel will help me to get better then this is what I need to do...

Unfortunately the counselling process is lengthy here - I have been referred and have to wait for them to contact me before we can even start. Whilst I am sitting here up to my eyeballs in valium the world seems an easier place but I know thats only temporary. My eldest child can see where I'm...

I talked to the breeder and she would be happy to have him back but thinks I will regret it - and she may be right. My friend thinks that if I remove him from the situation it just leaves me open to the same thing happening again with something else (ANYTHING else) and that I need to confront my...

Its so hard to know what to do for the best.....i still have a lot more thinking to do i guess

Do you still have Ralph or did he go back permanently?

I would like all of yours advice as dog owners. I have not improved since I first started this post. I have notslept for 5 days and have seen the doctor who is referring me to the Community Mental Health Team for counselling. She has aso put me on diazepam to sedate me. Even know I probably know...

Things are much the same at the mo, my mum and dad are here at the mo as my husband isn't home til later this evening. I'm still trying to get my head around thinking that it isn't the puppy thats the cause of the problem - once I can do that I think i will be getting somewhere Thanks for...

Thank you so much - I have put a picture onto my profile but it doesn't seem to be coming on to my posts ??? Hopefully the counsellor will get in touch with me in the next couple of days and then I can make some progress

I know you're right I jsut hate feeling like this - its living hell and somewhere I thought I would never have to go again.

I hope you're right - still keep thinking that if i hadn't got the dog then it wouldnt have happened but I know that i need to look forward now as I can't change what has already happened

Day 3 and things are no better, have spoken with my doctor and it appears that getting Rogan has just triggered something that has set off an episode of depression/anxiety. She is referring me for some counselling. Talked to my friend who said that it would be pointless sending pup back because...

Thanks guys - Rogan went outside to pee and poo tonight and is now in his crate - not sleeping but quite content so I'm off to get some sleep!!!

Just read the posts from Bailey + Raplh and Momof7 - thank you both and I will certainly try the tips you have suggested. I am overwhelmed by all the support I have been given by all of you people who I have never met and most of whom are on the other side of the world. Momof7 I sympathise...

Thank you for that - I think you have it spot on. I have just talked to my kids about it all and explained to them how I have been feeling. I have reassured them that I won't be taking him back and that I will learn to fit him into our lives. They have done their very bet to understand (in fact...
