So, after 8 years of love, I am getting rid of my dogs, and I am CRUSHED!!! 
We have 2 dogs, a Basenji and a Pug Shiz-tsu mix. I got the pug for my wife for our first Christmas together. He is cuddly and adorable, but has a history of biting. He was fine as long as you didn't hit him in the face, or grab his feet. Not too tough to remeber. The Basenji is a great dog, but she gets bored very easily. And when she gets bored, she finds thing to do... like eat toys, and clothes and basically anything else she can find.
Now everything was great with our little family, but then we had 2 daughters. The dogs did not like this. The Basenji started showing her displeasure by leaving lovely little presants in the girls rooms. The pug was a bit bigger problem. He wanted nothing to do with the girls. For the past 3 years, it hasn't been too bad. THe dogs would avoid the girls, and the girls would leave them alone. But recently, our 3 year old has become more interested in the dogs. We made sure to talk to her about how to be gentle with the dogs and everything was going well, until the other night when he bit her. It was just a bite on the hand, and it barely broke the skin, but it was a bite none the less.
It was at that point I made a difficult choice, to get rid of the dogs. I listed them on Craigslist and began the re-homing process. It has been tough, but I found a loving home for them. I visited the house and family first alone, and then with the dogs, and tonight I dropped them off for good.
I just needed someplace to get this off my chest.

That could not have been an easy decision, but it was made out of love (for both your family and the dogs).
