I have seen many devoted dogs that have had to be rehomed do wonderfully well.
And - there is no doubt that it is often much harder on us than it is on our pets.

I agree with this. I think, REGARDLESS of how attached a dog is to a person, there are some who, just on the basis of their personality and temperament, can readily and happily adjust to a whole new situation and environment, as long as it is a happy and healthy one.
And then there are other dogs who become sad and confused, BUT, I would think that in MOST cases, they would eventually adjust. Even human children are able to do this when families break up!
I agree that it's actually MUCH harder on US than it is on animals, when they are rehomed. So I in no way mean to minimize your worries or emotions. Any of us would be feeling the same thing.
It's great that you'll still get to see her, and like others, I just have a feeling you may end up with her again!
HERE'S HOPING!!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
