Thread: Should I sell my best mate?

So I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment and need to hear what you guys would do in the same situation.

I have a lovely greyhound x heading dog, my best mate who sleeps at the end of my bed every night. I got her when she was 7 months old as a rescue dog, so she is a bit timid, nervous, and lacks any courage (like the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz ), but she really does have a lovely nature. We've been together for 3 years now, and we have become a great team.

However, I have to move house in 2 weeks, and the new place is fine for her with lots of outdoor space, so I can take her with me. That's not the 'dilemma'.
The dilemma is that the neighbours have totally fallen in love with her... so much so that they offered me $12,000 to buy her.

My heart says 'keep her'.
Trouble is that a large part of my bank balance is making a lot of noise saying sell and get another dog... but sell my best mate?


I need to know what you guys think if you ever found yourself in a similar situation.
