Chancey and I just had an encounter where he lunged and barked at a 2 or 3 year-old little girl.
I can't deal with this. I just called Mark and told him we need to give Chance back. I'm second-thinking that now, of course, but...this is just too awful. I don't know how to make him behave the way he needs to in order for us to be able to trust him, and if we can't trust him, we can't keep him. It's really that simple. We spend a ton of time with him, he gets all of the love and affection any dog could want, we work with him as far as training and stuff goes...and he still does this every once in awhile. And it only takes once. So far we've been lucky, but...
Fuck. I can't even believe I am considering letting him go. I love him to pieces. I would feel awful if he weren't here. I would feel like my family was broken apart. There has to be another way.
