I am so sad for you. I wish i could help.
Here is a story about my neighbor Susan--- hope it helps!!!
Their family had been "thinking" about getting a dog for 2 years but "mom" (Susan) really didnt want to or had time for the puppy stage of potty training and chewing..... (the kids - 13 and 8 begged at least once a week).
Well, her husband had been to his chiropractors one morning and the receptionist had a flyer at her desk all about her dog due to needing to rehome their 3 year old lab/mix. Hubby had a special feeling about this dog so they went to visit her and it was love at first site. Their kids were so excited because they had been begging for a dog for years!!!! It took Shadow about 2 1/2 weeks to adjust and now Shadow is the love of their lives. Every evening i see their entire family taking Shadow for a walk and their older son jogs with her almost every morning. This dog was the perfect fit for their family and they cant imagine how they ever lived with out Shadow as part of their lives. This was 2 summers ago and Shadow is one of my Ollies best friends!!! So think of it this way --YOUR beloved furbabies will find a loving home and have a chance to make another family as happy as they made yours. Oh my gosh how many dogs get this chance to give happiness to two families in their lives? |
