That's going to be so hard. You really should get to keep at least one
It will be my only litter ever even though the plan had been to breed stella in March originally and keep a pup back but since this happened it wouldn't be for another year... Now we wont be having any more litters ever according to my husband... breaks my heart.

I pray he softens up and lets her stay as a barn dog. :hit

Not yet. He is overwhelmed mostly. But she would be ONE. Not 8 and she would be for out in the barn. Granted, with how he works, she would probably end up as another inside dog. But we can either keep her back or wait for a major loss due to predators in the area. With a diminished deer population it is only a matter of time before they start taking livestock. Across the road have horses, we have goats. Which will go first do you think? It wouldn't be the horses first, that's for sure. Eventually we will need a dog. He says there are ways around that ever being a necessity and we will never have a dog out there. It wont be fair to them when we have 2 other dogs who get to be in the house and outside of a fence. It is their jobs and I know that is not a concern. You love them just the same, they just have a job to perform above snuggles.

I am with you @Goatgirl47 Mia is to the right and Rumely Jr is to the left. They have got those ears and their eyes reach into your heart. My coworker is taking Mia and she won't stand a chance with those eyes and her guilt giving looks. And SMART! Yowzer, are they smart!

Is Sadie going to stay? You could use the excuse she doesn't have a home and see if that works.
