life has changed dramatically in that past 72 hours.

with our move looming and maggie still behaving in her bad way when we left her alone, i finally caught up with my husband on the fact that we really do need to get rid of maggie. my head has known for quite some time that the wisest thing to do would be to get rid of maggie. but my heart. ohhh

awww. isn't it beautiful how attached we get to our loved pets? that's really beautiful and reading this reminded me a little about when I went with my husband and my mom to put my childhood dog to sleep (who was my only friend for quite a few years and my closest companion). It is truly sad to lose our animals and to know that their lives are so short, but at least the memories are something to cherish and recall and look back on with a smile.

P.S. i think you picked a very nice place for her and I am sure she'll be well treated!

i feel you. all too well.
i cried myself to sleep last night because of sadie.
i know we havent had her as long as youve had maggie
but its just not working out & im already SO attached..
but its like its not fair to her & its not going to be
getting any easier once the baby comes. i talked about
it to my mom seriously last night & she think its probably
the best thing because if we dont do it now we'll do it
eventually & its not a good idea to wait for anything..
so we're on the lookout for a good loving home.
it breaks my heart & everytime i feel like i want to do
this she behaves just fine.. then she's a nut again & i
contemplate it.. but there's more bad days than good..
so i know what youre feeling all to well.
dogs are precious. all pets are. you get attached they
are like family.. but youre right,
"when owning your pet becomes what makes you miserable instead
of jubliant and joyful, i've come to realize it is time for a change."
