Yes it is extremely hard especially when you think of the little inocent dog who was scared from being abused before I got her and not knowing what to expect then I think of the babys who are not around all the time but if I caged lovie each time they were here she would have grown to feel like she was in prison and grandkids are non negiotable they are for ever god willing..Anyway I also think it just wasnt meant to be maybe I was just a pitstop in her life that lead her to her final and forever home where she has no one to compete with and she can finally be the queen of her castle...I know Lexi is much more at ease she was always so sensitive when the grandbabys were here and lovie was around them now she just plays and runs and doesnt seem concerned about what the kids are doing..Before she would stay between the kids and lovie like she was a wall between them maybe she sensed it I am not sure but she seems so much more relaxed now...I know at night Lovie would always get up before bed time and turn around and around in fast motions like she thought something was behind her about to get her and lexi always seemed cautious of that as well..I just have prayed and I think I did the right thing even though I feel a viod I hope I will grow to understand it and I hope she will find peace and happiness in her new home its just her and the lady so she will be spoiled I am sure..
