Oh hun, my heart goes out to you... I have been in a reversal of the situation you are going through, had to rehome my cat, when Jamie came home We tried everything too... she made herself so sick....
I wish you every success in getting her a great home and send you ((((BIG SETTER HUGS)))) Take care hun, thinking of you xx

Mia has taken the news quite hard but she does understand the reasons why, difficult to explain to a 6 year old but i'm sure she will be ok.

She sees Ruby as a big live teddy bear and will be very upset to see her go, as we all will but i really do believe it is the best thing for all, as hard as it may be.

I really dont know what else to do

Jules, I am so sorry. You really are stuck between a rock and a hard place. *hug*
I wish you well in finding her a new perfect home. x

I think you've tried and tried so what else can you do?
Is there a Shar pei rescue who could help you find a new home?

Yes, i have contacted them, also another site that only advertises Shar pei's , in fact where i first saw her, so we will see if i get any interest but they will have to do alot to impress me enough to let her go!

heart breaking for you ,i bet someone lovely will come along

I really do hope so

Hi, just wanted to send you a hug, sorry for your difficult decision. Sometimes there are no other options and it looks like you have all come to that point.

Might be worth putting a notice on here, you may be able to find a lovely home with someone who you have talked to and know alot about already. Just a thought, but they may have not read this thread, but could be looking for a new companion.

Anyway good luck, i know how hard it is - keep us informed.

I understand you have tried hard to try and get Ruby and the cats to tolerate each other, and I admire you for that, some people wouldn't even bother to try.

However, going by what you have said above, I think I would be rehoming the cats. How many have you got?

Cats are more independant than dogs, dogs are more sociable animals than cats and I think they do better with companions in most situations, IMO, and if you think Diesel will be saddened and upset by losing Ruby, then I would think of the dogs in this situation and rehome the cats.

I couldn't separate my dogs if they had such a strong bond as you describe, I just couldn't.

Sorry, just my opinion.

I wish you all the best in finding a fantastic cat-free home for her. Will it be nearby where the dogs could still meet up?

I hope no-one will judge you or make you feel bad about your decision. It is obvious to me just how hard you have tried and how much you love Ruby.

I hope you find a fantastic, cat-free home for her.

Thinking of you.
