When one loves their animal, they do what is best for the animal. Giving her to someone who colud afford to take care of her was good, wanting to take her back, not so good.
Remember she is still going to have the same issues when you get her back, the same reasons that you gave her away. your financial situation has not changed. You still hve two other dogs that need to see the vet.
Why not focus on doing what is best for them. And be greatful to this other person for giving your girl a nice home |
Just out of my own sick curiosity, I found myself back on here to see how many people would or would not see that some of you have attacked me and see that I had the right to defend myself. I found your post and since it was that of [U]some[U] compassion, felt I would respond. The woman that has Savannah DID, in fact tell me that I was welcome to come and get her if I felt i needed to. So, yes, i CAN just waltz in there if I want....not to say that I will. All I ever needed from all of you were your opinions, given all that you were able to read from ALL of my posts. It's fine that my post from July was brought into this. Though I am, most assuredly ashamed that I allowed myself to get that flustered to say the things I said that night. I cannot take it back once it's been said. I am only human and we all have said MANY, MANY things out of anger, frustration, sadness, grief, any and every emotion we could feel that we later regretted. We have also done things out of love that we were not wise or down right stupid that we have also regretted. It was words. Words and that's all. Words typed on a keyboard. She has always known that I loved her above everything! Listen, I made it clear even in my updated post that Savannah tested me to my limits more times that I can even count. She did. She did some of the most disgusting things that sent me hurling out of my home more times than I could count. For example: She would go outside and poop and the other 2 would be out there as well. She would turn right around and eat hers and then go and eat theirs if I didn't manage to stop her in time. Then later on inside she would begin to vomit and she vomited liquid (thick) poop!!! It looked as tho someone had just crapped in my floor, carpet or whatever she did this in. There are many utterly disgusting things I could share but why?? You all would never understand this unless you have endured it. This is one event that happened that night in July to me. So in saying that, I did and do love her despite it all. She was mine! and disgusting habits, hardships or good times I loved her for all that she was to me, and meant to me and the joy that she DID give me. My 'hate'/love comment concerning her was a deplorable thing to say as well as the fact that my only alternative was to put her to sleep. Though I could and would never do that, makes it that much of a horrible thing to say. That was indeed wrong and I can understand how all could be confused. But as I said, it was a moment of frustration when I said the wrong thing. I NEVER hated her. It was a poor choice of words at a bad moment.
Jeanie, thank you for your advice. You told me all that I needed to know in the above post and I appreciate that you smoothed your words this time. Everyone has good advice and all valid. I'm sorry that I made anyone think I needed a soft sell to get thru to me. It wasn't that at all. I just wish all of you could understand how I feel and understand that it is Christmas. It's already a crappy one for me being laid off with money issues- so NO Christmas for me at all. But then, I'm having to deal without her and it's all just over-whelming. Thank you all for your advice good or bad, hateful and kind. I appreciate you all taking the time to help me.
Merry Christmas and many blessings to everyone!!!!
