The primary concern was not to displace Sunshine ,at first Mindy did quite well . However she was still recovering from her spay.pyometra operation .
Once she was back from that she became a take charge kinda girl and mr Sunshine could not much deal with that .
He has been an only since we got him 2 years ago , and actually we thought he would like a sister to keep him company . However it turned out she was bossing him way too much . She was becoming stronger and him weaker ,and I did not want to put him though that .
Being at my house was great for Mindy to recover and I really think she enjoyed being here . We helped Karla with the vet costs , because it was something we could do for Mindy.The person that Karla got Mindy from totally gave bad information about her , some things we will never know .
I was hoping she would be able to stay with us forever but I had to put Sunshine first . I even got another opinion from our vet about their personalities and she thought it best for them not to be together .
BTW Sunshine came very close to outliving me last year , he helped me recover .

I commend you for giving it your best shot with Mindy and helping Karla get her this far. It takes a big heart to help and also common sense when you know it isn't the right placement for Mindy or Sunshine, too.
So many times pet owners who adopt will hate to have to admit after the fact that it wasn't the right fit after all and wait until all are miserable and then surrender back to a rescue.
Hat's off to you...
