New home for my dog

What do you do when you have a pet and you know that pet won't be able to handle life with a baby?

That is the problem I face, at the moment my dog Bouncer is staying at my mums, he's been there since last year when I split with my ex and was forced to move into the nurses home next to work. He has since I got him been my baby, so maybe the problem I face is my own fault.

Now I find myself pregnant and I know Bounce will get jealous, and more than that he is unpredictable at the best of times, easily excited and full of bounce. In the past few months he has settled somewhat, he's fairly well behaved yet he still knocks me to the floor when I go home to mums.

Speaking to her today she told me that my youngest uncle's (he's more like my brother) dog is dying, his dog means the world to him since it was his wife's dog and he himself is loosing his sight and lives alone.

She has spoken to him and told him all about my dog, all his strangeness and intelligence. Now you may think it strange my uncles dog is not yet dead and te pain of the dying dog must be great for my uncle, only he told mum that he would get another dog after a few weeks.

The family has always looked after it's own and so mum just told him he could meet Bounce, he's one dog that you fall in love with when you first meet him, he's loving and giving as dogs go.

The best thing for me is I get to keep Bounce close (well when I'm at mums), I know he'll be well cared for and spoilt. My uncle is home most of the time and has a big garden, more than that he lives by the beach. Both of them will look after each other.

One thing though, my uncle has to be more than alpha, Bounce thinks men are push overs and only toys to be played with.
