Dogs : 19.1.2.5>8

[anemos]

Kinda confused with this reading . If you could offer another view would be very helpful.

I ask which is the best course of action re 3 dogs that belonged to my father. They are good hunting dogs but none in this family is a hunter so if we keep them somehow seems not right for them. Only problem is younger niece, very close to her grandpa and dogs too. We thought we solved the problem , when we agreed that probably its better to give them away but today we realized that she wants to keep them.

Although lines 1 & 2 , in this specific reading, are a bit unclear , the reading as a whole appears to say that its better give them (8) to someone can take care of them (19),not only feed them etc but offer them a life close to their nature., where they belong (8) , iow.

we really want to make the best decision respecting both dogs and niece , so maybe the reading echoes her wish that is to give them but she has to check and be sure she agrees with the people are going to take care and get a permission to be able to visit them.

Burden her with another loss is something we don't want to do , so maybe the timing element both 19 and 8 share , might be that we agreed to talk about it later as we are not in such a hurry.

Am I missing something here that maybe gives to this reading a different spin ?

thanks in advance

The transitional method gives 19.1 -> 7.2 -> 2.5 -> 8.
The decision to give away the dogs must be unanimous, both lines 1(you) and 2(niece) then go to see the general (h7).
This man should be "Straight, square and great"(fan yao 2.2), and if you agree, then (7.2)"In the midst of the army! Good fortune! No error! The king bestows a threefold honor." you bestow upon him your three dogs.

But be sure to check that he wears yellow underwear! Only true hunters do this

He will be then honored to take your dogs(2.5), and use them in a hunt (fan yao 8.5)
"Expression of holding together. The king allows the hunt on three sides only and renounces the game which runs in front. The citizens do not need to be warned. Good fortune!"

WoW , ashteroid !!! that's really interesting! Thank you. Can relate to many of your points

But be sure to check that he wears yellow underwear! Only true hunters do this

hahaha, she said something similar . There will be a casting , she said, and if I don't like one then neeeext !!! . She is a nice and thoughtful kid and loves animals a lot. We thought she has a saying in that decision; in some ways she is the 7.2 figure.

another way to read 19>8 , could be : together ( 8) take care(19) of the dogs, but then 19.5 asks for a wise decision and not sure if keeping them is the right one. We still think about it too, although not the best for the dogs...
