Seger has been an interesting dog to say the least. Some of you may know the many 'experiences' we have had with him over the years. In general, though, he's been a good dog and we love him so much.
We were nervous about how he was going to handle Noah joining our family last year but he seemed to tolerate him pretty well..... until Noah started walking. About a month ago, he actually snapped at Noah while Noah was trying to 'love' on him, and although we don't think he really meant to hurt him (he left a small mark on his cheek), this crossed the line for us and we knew right then what we had to do. Seger needs to be with a family without children and with people who have the time to deal with his other various 'issues'.
We have been looking for a good home for him for about a month now and have been in contact with a rescue group in North Raleigh. They have a foster home available for him, so tomorrow we are surrendering him to them. The group has been highly recommended and the description of the foster home where he will be going sounds perfect. Waylon and I truely believe he is going to be happier and get the attention he needs at the foster home, and the group will do a great job screening permanent homes for him.
All this being said, tomorrow is going to be the hardest day of my life. This is the first huge parenting decision we've had to make and it's not fun at all.
We'll miss you, Seger.

Robin & Waylon:
I know how hard this is for you. We will all miss Seger, but he will be very happy running around and playing at his new home. Love, Mom & Dad Parham
We will miss Seger too!!
I'm so sad for you both! You made me tear up quite a bit. Stay strong...you made a hard, but very sound decision. Love to all of you:)!
