My mom has a 6 year old pug who has been her companion since 8 weeks old. We just had to place my mom in a nursing home after a fall and I have been caring for her pug for the past 2 months but I cannot keep the dog as I have a 5 month old German Shepherd who is too rough for it. My mother is extremely emotional about having to lose her dog. I've been trying to ask around but nobody wants a six year old dog due to their breathing and eye issues. Any advice on how to make this process easier for mom?
I had no choice, but to tell my cousin that her cat would be fine until she got out. In less than a year and my cousin has no idea that she had a cat or house. Does your mom have dementia? If not, I would just tell her that a nice family adopted the dog and that he is very happy. Take a couple of pictures of the dog looking content to show her. I would prefer a fib to make me feel better.
