See you do want her back. Did you sign anything with this lady giving her rights to your dog?

She told me Savannah's picture would go out on their website and any prospective people interested in her would give me a call. This lady's background was checked, as well as her home as a suitable candidate for adopter's. I do know the vet she took her to. Savannah has been to her before in the past. She is the best vet in that area. I DO want to get her back. I really, really do. I'm just trying my very best to determine what is best for all. I'm NOT going to get past what I've done, and I know that. I don't have the heart that will let me forgive or forget what I've done. If a member of my family had her, it would be fine with me. But knowing she's with someone that i really don't know any better than the lady I met at the store today....'that' bothers me. And it also bothers me that once she had her, the 'few day trial' 'to see how things go' let her to tell me on Sunday what SHE thought was best for my dog, basically telling me I no longer had a choice since she made HER decision to keep her. When I wanted to go and see things for myself, I was denied and told to come and see her in a month. Those things bother me. Especially since she was still MY dog at that point. Don't I, as her owner, have the right to determine for myself who I think would make a good owner for my dog? I feel like I've been bullied and maybe that's why I feel as tho I have no closure or peace. |
So this lady isn't the new owner, but a foster type of home. I'm sorry, but I do agree with others that she's just looking out for the dog and trying to get the dog to adjust. Sweetie, try putting yourself in your dog's shoes (so to speak). First, you go from your family that you've lived with your whole life and you're to live with some stranger, then your momma comes to visit only you don't know what it means to visit, you think your going home, but then momma leaves and your still with this stranger. Dogs don't understand what's going on. SO I understand the foster not wanting visits right now. If you do go I hope you bring your baby home for her sake, if she isn't coming home with you then I say don't visit. Sorry, I know you may not want to hear that but you need to think of your little one. It's your decision to make no one else's. I recommend that you decide soon, as it's not fair to your dog or the foster who's caring for her. I hope and pray for the best to you all. ((((Hugs))))
