Naiya

Well, we have found a new home for Naiya...it was time. We love her dearly but she was just not good with kids. Elliot had found a new fascination with her and just wanted to chase her or pet her all the time and Naiya did not like that at all and we were afraid she'd bite him. the other two had learned to leave her be but even when new kids came over she'd growl a lot and that was hard. You never knew if this was going to be the time she'd bit. So after 8.5 years..we found someone who would take her. We first contacted the woman who sold us Naiya and she helped us find her a home. I really feel like she'll get spoiled at her new home. This couple already has another Shihtzu that is 10 years old and they rescued that one 8 years ago too...so they've been through this before. We've talked to them and Naiya didn't eat at first and just moped around but now seems to be accepting it. When we first told Madi she cried really hard for awhile...but then she said she'd be okay and wanted her picture taken with Naiya...so we had a couple final pictures...Isaac didn't care at all..he asked when we could get another one! It's been about a week now that she has been gone and the kids don't even ask about her...they'll see pictures or movies of her and its okay...so we're grateful this transition has gone so well.

I think Naiya knew something was up...because she actually sat nicely next to the kids.
