A new addition to the family IMO is NOT a good enough reason to rehome a faithful old friend like Skye.
My boys would SO love her, she is absolutely gorgeous, but we have no more room at the inn unfortunately. If we didn't have Ben, it would be a definite possibility because Tai is now 10 and although hares round like a lunatic still, and can still catch rabbits, he would appreciate the calming influence of such a mature lady!! she looks absolutely fantastic, I am gutted that I cannot help

I hope she finds somewhere warm and loving to live out her twilight years :'( I bet she wasn't grumpy at all, they just can't be bothered anymore! And if she was grumpy who can blame her?! Poor love x

Absolutely disgraceful they wouldn't keep her, my girls eat hardly anything now they are full grown, Mabs is a different story as she is still growing, but the girls cost pennies nowadays and could afford to lose weight if anything.
So so so sad, no room at my inn either, and I know my older girls would pick on her, they gave poor Zillar no peace when I took her back, there was some sort of altercation every day, and I have kept Mabs back now anyway, 3 is more than enough to walk!!!

Although some things sound a bit dodgy - like the age being wrong
I wouldnt condem someone saying they could just work longer hours
It isnt always as simple as that - I am seriously skint at the moment - I would work more hours if it was possible - but I cant make more work than there is
and in my last 'real' jobs every company I was in when they started struggling the first thing to go was overtime - so its not always possible to just make more money
and if the new addition is a baby and she has been OK with children in the past then this wasnt something the owners could predict
obviously none of us know the true situation - but I can only imagine how hearbreaking it would be to have to give up a much loved family pet at her age if the situation is so far out of their control
