You gave Koji a wonderful foster home when he most needed a safe place to land. Livestock guardian dogs can be tough that way, they will protect a homestead with their life, but they get out of sorts when they have to leave. What a lovely family you found to adopt him and now you have new friends as well!! I wouldn't sweat the trip - I think it's meant to be just a special trip for you and your grandma.

You got Koji out of a high kill shelter and found him is true furever home. Dont let others get you down for this even if he wasn’t a fit for your lifestyle. Yes he is a herding dog like my two collies who go out with me on long hikes and overnight/weekend adventures. Mine know that home is just around the corner and are willing to go exploring but they want they’re beds and porches. Dont let the negativity get you down. Koji is alive and thankful for being out of a shelter

Koji is a large guardian breed which means he needs to and wants to guard a home and it’s surroundings. It’s his job and it’s what he is genetically programmed to do. I laughed seeing his paws hang over the steps as they will usually dig a hole and hang their paws in it while they lay on the ground. I’m a Maremma Mum so I fully understand your thought process. You have made a fantastic decision for him even though your heart is breaking. I’m sending you big hugs and letting you know that you’re going to be ok and so is Koji.

This is so so true, I also have worked with rescues, do fostering, and people don’t realise how confused and stressed the dogs get, they go through confusion of being in a difficult environment and not with their family, so they are grieving the loss of the family they had know, now he gets attached to a new Mumma and fur sister and settles into his new life and bang it changes again, he has too get used to both new humans AND other dogs. I am sorry I am not meaning to be rude at all, but we take on these animals and they are OUR responsibility, they don’t get to say anything, they depend on us and when we take them in we take them in for their life time. I have had to move lots of times due to domestic violence but it has never been a question that I wouldn’t take my girl with me, I just kept looking for places to rent that allowed dogs.

When you took him in I thought you were just going to get into trouble, He is big and old and with your life's ideas I immediately saw you would get into trouble, You really should have thought before you saved him and gave rico a friend, Because she will be a big loser in this too, And 2 months is enough for Kogi to have attached himself to you and now has to go back in and find peace with other people and dogs, he will get stressed and definitely have a hard time, A dog have feelings and don't believe we always know what is best. You have to think that children in the future will also put many restrictions on you throughout life. Especially when they have to go to school and have friends, You can't do everything you want all the time, It's responsibility and obligation. Felt very sad for Kogi and Rico. Hope this will be a lesson for you and not just decide such totally responsible matters overnight, but review the pros and cons. And you shouldn't visit him for the time being, it will make him confused, He needs to know you are now gone and only come to visit, Yes, life requires a lot and remember we choose how much responsibility we want to take on, You can't play with living creatures according to what pleases one in the moment and just throw it away as garbage. After all he got a home and not a cage in a shelter, God bless Kogi,🙏❤

Where ever you are is where your dogs home is. I’ve had beautiful loyal German Shepherd’s for years. My lifestyle has changed a lot due to the needs of my dogs. if you can’t adjust to what your dog needs it’s best to find people who can do that. Dogs needs also change over the years. I had a GSD rescue who at age six developed degenerative myopathy and I had to care for him, a large dog who slowly became paralyzed. You never know what your dog is going to need from you.

Hey Lyss, this was a tough one. Kogi has the spirit of an older dog. He seems to be done with the running, rolling and chasing everything that runs through the yard. Like you said, the wanderlust isn’t his thing. That being said, it’s not easy giving up a fuzzy buddy, but I think you did the right thing… and even if you realized the challenge of him was too much for you, you still did the right thing. He’ll be happy on that spectacular porch. Also, don’t let the big Alaska plans discourage you, the fact that your still going with your grand is the most important thing anyway. ~ I really like how you often turn to poetry for answers. There is comfort in hearing emotional sensitivity, knowing you’re not alone. The pain will still happen, but you, like the poet, will get through it okay. ✌🏼❤️

That’s really hard. As you explained it, I was like “Dang. That’s such a shame.” It must’ve been so hard to do that. Maybe you were more like his foster mom. Unlike most foster moms, though, you’ll be able to see him fairly often. What you did is what fosters do: take them into a home situation, love on them, then find them the best home that will work for the dog and his personality. It’s not easy at all, but you’re wonderful for realizing this, and not leaving him with just anyone. I wanted to hug you when you broke down crying. It’s hard, and there are a LOT of feelings to sort through.

It broke my heart to watch you be sad and love enough to let go. This video happened on me at the perfect time. I have had a foster kitten since July 4th week-end and I have grown to love him so much. He has the most amusing personality, he's so smart, beautiful and the softest fur. He's a Utopia Bengal with the most unique markings. I've had cats my entire life and a rescue 15 years ago. Some of the cats that remain are all over 11 years old and I'm 73. It wouldn't be fair to the adorable kitten, to me or my adult cats to keep him. If he happened upon us 10 years ago, there would be no doubt I'd keep him. I call him KitTen because it's not fair to name him. If I was able to keep him, I would name him Marcel after the wonderful mime Marcel Marceau. He'll be going to a Cat Rescue next week who will screen and find a furever home for him. Even though I know it's for the best, it will be sad. So - thank you for making this video and sharing.

I feel that you will enjoy your trip so much more and grandma and you will make such beautiful memories that you can hold onto as time marches forward. Letting go of things you are comfortable in but needing to move forward is necessary in all our lives you just seem to have a better handle on it than a lot of people or at least you are currently seeking it to improve your journey. As always sending vibes of Blessings and Love for your continued adventures in your journey through this life.

Maybe it was meant to be part of Koji’s journey & you were the angel that gave him the stepping stone to the next part of his journey. I think the only reason you were able to let him move forward is because he is safe & will be loved♥️ it’s heart wrenching to know what’s best for him but all things aligned & hopefully his heart & life will be safe & loved❣️beautiful Koji♥️

My family was on the receiving end of a dog giveaway. A woman listed she was looking for a forever home for her Keeshond. Someone saw the posting and contacted my wife. I went on the 2nd visit and fell in love with this dog. It turned out Keeta was a sister from a younger litter of the Keeshond we already had. Keeta is a great adoption. 😊

Thank you for being so honest. As someone who has fostered & rescued dogs, you did nothing wrong. You saved a wonderful soul & found him the most fantastic home. Koji seems so happy. Don't listen to the haters. Thank you for saving that beautiful dog. It takes a lot to know you can't give him exactly what he needs & you found him the perfect home. Koji is so lucky to have found you.

First I want to say thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It takes a lot of courage. I know you and your grandma will have a wonderful time in Alaska. You did what was best for Koji and found him a great home. Yet I only have one concern about your post. Could you please address if the people who paid for reserved spots will they be refunded? I understand you are under a lot of stress and scrutiny. I have faith things will improve. ❤
