No offense taken, I wasn't aware I was being defensive. I get accused of not sugar-coating my words & not beating around the bush, perhaps you 
feel I'm being defensive because I didn't 'comfort' you concerning your decision to get rid of your Pyr girl.
Yes, you could do what a lot of people do and take her to the shelter, I'm not denying that. It seems it would ease your conscience more to go to the 
'hassle' of placing her. I saw several good suggestions concerning it.
Sorry you think I'm defensive. I didn't mean to come across that way. Could be the Pyrenees puppies and 4 adult Pyrs I've been called to take so far 
this month because their owners are moving, didn't have room, etc. 
I'm probably just frustrated, didn't mean to take it out on you because you're moving and need to get rid of your Pyr though. 
Maybe I'll get a punching bag for Christmas and can take it out on that <g>.
