Hi Sophie!
I know you said that your post wasn't directed at me, but I do want to say this.
We never expected him to be perfect, ever. We didn't even expect him to grow out of most of his problems over the period of time that we had him. What we did expect was to see some positive change, and what we were seeing was a 180 from when he got here regarding the growling/snarling/not letting us in the room, or being able to touch him. It was actually getting worse every day.
Just wanted to say that! It's been a week today since Rascal has been gone. I haven't cried since last Tuesday, and even though I still miss him GREATLY, I still think I did the right thing. I've been really really busy lately trying to get my new house in order for my MIL to see it on Friday and our Memorial Day party on Sunday with about 40 people, so I'm hoping that even though that's taking him off my mind, that I won't crash once everything is over with. Meaning that this may be taking him off my mind, but it could be a bad thing as well, for I could just be blocking it right now.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!
