Failing

So, it's been a while since I lasted posted. I have just been feeling kinda crappy about myself so that doesn't much make for good blog material! I feel like a total failure...we gave Bella away. I am heartbroken. But we had to do what was best for her. Over the course of the past couple of weeks she was just getting super defensive of me. To the point where she wouldn't let the kids near me. On top of that, even if the kids weren't around me, she would stalk them and even pounce or sit on them just to be a bully. I watched many an episode of Dog Whisperer and tried his techniques but I just couldn't seem to make headway on that issue. Cesar was very helpful on getting me to get her to stop biting on people when playing and with house breaking but the over-defensiveness just wasn't giving. It was getting worse. I interviewed a couple of people and found a wonderful young couple who was very familiar with the breed who took her. Bella loved them right away, covering them in kisses and giving them love nibbles on the ears (which I miss :( ). I know she will be very happy there, but not only am I sad, because she was my companion, but I feel ashamed and like a failure. Not a good feeling.
