Is there no chance??

I have 2 children and 2 dogs. My kids are 12 and 13 and I have a Yorkshire Terrier and a Chihuahua. My Yorkshire Terrier is pretty good at using the restroom on the doggie pads and such but my Chihuahua has a slight problem, he marks his territory on walls and bookshelves. He also has a skin problem. He scratches himself so hard he bleeds. We took him to the vet and spent a lot of money on him but no one knew what the problem is. The thing is, my kids don't seem to like the Yorksire Terrier. They seem to like the Chihuahua more. We've tried a lot of things but it's not working. I'm planning on giving the Chihuahua away to a good owner but I know if I do so my children would be ery depressed. Is there any other choice besides giving the Chihuahua away?

Is there no chance??
I'd hate to see you give away a problem pet (the pet still has the problem, so you should really be honest with the new owner).





If the kids love the Chi so much, it should be up to them to fight for him. They can try to distract him from the scratching, clean up the mess, work on non-marking behavior. They're old enough. While they're in school, the Chi could be crated. If you're home during the day, then you could at least give him a potty break at some point).
