A very sad post...(Edited)

It is with great sadness that I am writing this post. When Brayden came home from Guatemala our black lab, Ebony, had some difficulty with the transition. There were several "incidents" involving Ebony and Brayden. However, Ebony was our first baby, so we continued to work with her. Bringing Layna home seemed to be the icing on the cake for Ebony. We have had several "incidents" with her and Layna as well. A while back we tried to find her a new home, but I struggled with that plan. I didn't want to just give our problem to another family with the potential for another incident to occur. So, at that time we decided to keep her and we invited a training specialist into our home to help us deal with the unacceptable behavior. We worked with Ebony for several months and thought things were better. Unfortunately on Friday night there was another "incident" between Ebony and Layna. This was the worst one yet (and when I say "incident", I mean bite). Layna is ok, but I have never been so angry at Ebony.

So, on Saturday morning Ebony went to doggy heaven. I know many people may judge us for our decision, but it was right for our family and not an easy decision. We feel that we exhausted all options at this point. I was not comfortable putting her into a different home to do the same thing to another child/person. Please don't judge our decision, just pray for our hearts to heal. We will miss our girl, Ebony.

EDITED TO ADD...Many of you are asking, so I just want to say that Layna is ok. Ebony bit her on her back close to her armpit and neck. She has two puncture wounds (one near her armpit and the other near the back of her neck) and is bruising up now. Thankfully it was not her face or head...dangerously close though. I am sure everything will heal up nicely. She is on antibiotic for a sinus infection, so that should prevent any infection in the puncture wounds.
