Denby’s imminent departure

Sorry to say it’s time for Denby to move to another home. Why, you say? Guess you’ve never lived with a majorly shedding dog in a very small space. We have for a year now.

Except that now Jenna has started chemotherapy.

• Which depletes her immune system.
• Which leaves her highly susceptible to infections.
• Which requires a high state of cleanliness.
• Which conflicts with a dog that constantly sheds and brings in much dirt on his low slung body, not to mention other substances that he should have left outside (you know).

I vacuum every other day. Jenna brushes him every other day. But the dirt and hair never end.

We have lived with dogs, mostly Corgis, for 29 of our 30 year marriage. And Jenna started with Corgis in the BB time (Before Bruce). We don’t take this step lightly. But risk is composed of probability times impact. Not much chance, but potentially big impact.

We gotta get clean. If we lived in a conventional house with some property, like our last one, we could ban Denby from our residence for the duration of the risky time - at least four months. But with this RV - nope.

So we plan to return him to Mary Day, his breeder, who doubles as the leader of the NW Corgi Rescue Association. She will find another good home for him.

Sad to say. But life is change. Here’s comes another one.
