I was petrified that Abbs might nip Janelle and then being a Foster child I would be in big doo doo. So, I put up an ad at work, and a lady froma friends church had just lost her hubby. She came to look at my Abbie (who she had never seen) and she started crying, she said this was the exact dog she was looking for, infact she pull up an old photo from a newspaper or something and the dog looked EXACTLY like my Abbie. She (the lady) was so excited that she pretty much exited my home without me really getting a proper goodbye with Abbie. I have never felt so awful, I cried and cried drove this lady crazy with my calls to check up on Abbie etc. Then one day I called to see if I could visit. This was two days after Abbie left. I went inside and Abbie ran to me and licked me and I took her for a walk and we "talked" and I decided I could not give her up. I went back and told the lady I was taking Abbie back home. Now, the lady is close to tears because she already loves Abbie, so I leave with Abbie in the car and call my husband and tell him I took Abbie because I missed her too much. I must have sounded nutz. I ended up going to the park and sitting with Abbie and explaining I needed to take her to the lady as the lady would spoil her and needed her. So, I did just that, took her back. That lady must have thought I was nutz too. I was just so confused. Anyway, that was 4yrs ago. I still send Abbie an xmas card and Nancy (the new owner) updates me here and there. Not a week goes by without me thinking of Abbie, she remains in my heart. Good part is, she is spoiled and has made anothe person happy, however, if I could go back, I would have NEVER parted with her. good Luck.

That is a lovely story of true love and willingness to share that love.
