Unfortunately, this woman’s son passed away unexpectedly. And even though he was an adult, she claims that he was the one child out of her three children who remained really close to her into adulthood.

Don’t get me wrong– she has no problem with her other two kids. They just do not really reach out anymore, and she has been really missing her late son.

So, as you can imagine, the grieving process has been exceptionally challenging.

Aside from dealing with the loss, though, she also had to figure out what to do with her son’s pets. After he passed, he left two dogs behind. And honestly, she just did not have the energy to care for two pups at the same time.

It is also important to note that her son had lived at home. So, she ultimately decided to keep the older dog– since it was accustomed to their routine and required less care.

Then, she realized that her coworker had a major soft spot for animals. Plus, the coworker was reportedly young and had no problem walking the puppy often and providing the pup with all care to live a happy and healthy life.

So, on Tuesday, she opted to give the puppy away and dropped it off at her coworker’s house.

And quite frankly, she felt like it was a great decision. First of all, her coworker is very trustworthy– so she won’t have to worry about the puppy’s safety.

Second, she will still be able to arrange puppy playdates for the two dogs to get together whenever she has time.

“It’s not like the dog will never be seen again by this family,” she added.

Well, there was one hitch in the plan. His son actually had a girlfriend before he passed away, and after the girlfriend learned that the puppy had been rehomed, she was seriously upset.

In fact, her son’s girlfriend told her that her son would have never approved of this arrangement. The girlfriend also claimed to be “like a mother” to the dog and claimed that the puppy would be lost without her.

According to her, her son’s girlfriend also used some pretty harsh words during their conversation and said that she should have been offered the dog first.

Now, she does want to make it clear that her son and girlfriend did not live together at her house. So, it was not like she snatched away pups away from their sole caretakers. Instead, she actually pointed out how her son and girlfriend rarely ever spent any time together at her house.

“I was with the dogs every day and more involved in their lives,” she said.

On top of that, she claims that her son’s girlfriend has been a wreck since his passing and honestly believed that throwing a needy puppy into the mix would just push her over the edge.

Finally, according to her, the possibility of rehoming the puppy had been discussed before with her son’s girlfriend.

“But I guess she did not take me seriously,” she vented.

Anyway, with her son’s girlfriend now really distraught over the pup, she has been left wondering if rehoming one of her late son’s dogs without asking his girlfriend first makes her a total jerk.

If her son lived with her, and she primarily took care of the dogs anyway, is his girlfriend entitled to the dog? Would it still have been nice to offer the dogs to his girlfriend before choosing a coworker? Does it make sense why she went with her coworker? At the same time, is it understandable why her son’s girlfriend is upset?
