Journal Entry for August 15, 2008 Mood
Friday, August 15, 2008 | A Sad story
I cannot believe what I did, I ''surrendered'' My Beautiful Dog(baby) to a no kill shelter! She is wonderful..i feel as if my heart is being ripped out. I have had her 2 years, I adopted at age 6 mths from death row. I did not now what else to do..this past week she has scaled her pen several times, she has(had now;S) her ''sister'' with her they played etc and was very happy...it is xtremely well made, i spared no expense, not that it matteres 4,ooo. any way...i kept having carpenter come out it went from 6' to 8' and even angled the top inwards. I was so afraid she would be hit or lost, I cannot be home i am working 80hrs a week to try and save my house...more importantly Don, my husband cannot ''take care'' of her while i am gone, he doesnt have the energy to chase after her, and to be honest she loves him so much she doesnt understand why it hurts him when she jumps on his stomach, we would bring her in every nite to sleep with us, Don ailing from cancer his sleep is important, we have a new neighbor with dog who runs loose:S and of couse she was doing her job when she would hear it in our yard and she would bark..we would praise her and calm her down. I am emotionaly, physically and financially drained, not sure how much more i can take.  Thank you for listening and if u get a chance visit her pic and leave her hugs okay friends? I love u all. Leanne

    Sorry you had to give up your puppy, I had to put my cat down and that just crushed me. At least she will have a chance to be with a family that has time to spend with her and give her the attention she needs. Hope you feel better.

    Here is a website that sells dog kennels

    http://www.seefido.com/html/dog_ke...

    On the right hand side go into "Dog Kennel Runs"

    There is a PICTURE of an extra large dog Kennel with a cover on top.

    This could be perfect. You can even get two kennels and put them back to back or perhaps your carpenters can make you a kennel with a overhead cover where your dogs have plenty of room and will not jump over the fence.

    I understand exactly how you are feeling. I too have a very strong love for my animals and would feel devastated if I had to send my dogs to a shelter.

    I'm so sorry my friend. XOXOXO Lily

    Oh honey....I am sooo sorry to hear about what is going on. I grieve with you. If Baby is as sweet as you say.....I am sure that they will find a loving home. Hang in there. Concentrate on loving yourself and your husband.
    Remember how much God (and I) love you.
    Hugs,

    I had to put my other dogs in a kennel run; and put chicken wire over the top to make sure they stayed in.
    Leanne, I understand exactly what you are going thru. I wish I had a good answer for you....I know you are broken hearted. At least she's in a nokill shelter.

    love

    I feel for you Leanne. That is one of the hardest things to do. But, you probably saved her life a second time. Hang in there, and know you did it for her, and for your husband, and for your serenity. Forever she will be your baby. Forever you saved her life. Forever she will love you. Hang in there and know we are all here for you.

    I once got 'blown off the high side of a curve on mine by a truck' spent 91 days in the hospital and nearly got court martialed for 'damaging government equiptment'!

    glad he and the bike are OK....

    Wow... nice. Still hurts though. Everyone's got to go down once to be a "biker". At least that is what they told me when I laid mine down. Only going 10mph, across a slippery strip of mossy water. My niece was on the back and didn't want to get her feet wet. She kicked her feet up and down we went. I saved my tank with my left knee/thigh. Oh well.. I healed! But, it hurt like a motha effa! I'm glad your baby/s are both alright! Especially your hubby!!!!

Love... Mood
