I don't know you very well Megan, as I am fairly new, but I have to say that I too am very impressed with the way you have handled yourself through this misfortune. I too, have had to re-home a dog and it was the hardest thing to do and I still cry every single time I speak of her. She was adopted by a wonderful family and she is very, VERY happy, but I miss her like crazy. I know that it was the right thing to do ...for her, but knowing that did not make it any easier for me. The family that adopted her had been waiting an awfully long time for just the right dog that could handle their particular situation and home life and she fit that need to a tee. They love her like crazy and I can clearly see that that love is reciprocated and she is where she is needed to be. God works in mysterious ways and we do not always understand the reasons, but we must trust that it is correct and believe in his wisdom. I guess when I see all the love that she has brought into their lives ... I do believe.
When I read the threads in regard to others who have had to do the same ... I can't help but feel the pain they must be feeling too and it is all fresh in my mind .... and in my heart. |
