I have not responded and will sit on it until I get input here.
Good choice!

What I want to say is:
Sorry W, I will not be able to take your dog. Please do not give him away as it would absolutely crush D8. You know how devastated you were when your parents gave away your dogs at 2 different times in your life. Please consider our children's wishes in your decision.
Less is better.
