Whenever I find myself doing the unselfish thing, the one that puts the other party first and foremost...I find that it hurts beyond belief. Your decision to allow your pup to stay at "his" home with his friend and your mom sounds like it is in the best interest of the pup.
Yes, he will miss you, but you will have the gratification of knowing that he is well taken care of and that he is among family and with his friend, instead of being in a house alone by himself for hours. Sounds to me like you are doing the honorable thing....not the easy thing....but the one which puts your pup's needs before yours! Not many people can or will do that. In a self-fulfilling world it is a choice worthy of praise. |
