Adopt an adult dog...
Give back.
I went over to the local rescue.
Looking for a small dog that could travel with me easily.
I found this guy...
And immediately fell in LOVE.
Not small.
But OH MY GOSH...he spoke to me.
And followed me with his eyes.
He was surrendered by a family with his younger brother.
They wanted to keep them together, if possible.
So, I watched on line.
Last week, his brother got adopted.
So, I went back.
Three times.
Walked him and talked to him.
Snuggled and loved him up.
We even named him Clem.
He's so sweet.
And needy.
But he's not really what I was looking for.
Nor is the timing just right..especially for a larger dog.
I have so much traveling to do in the next months.
So, I had to walk away.
SOBBING.
Jimmy gone...
No Clem...
Not a good weekend for me.
But it's the right thing.
I can so relate to you. I fell in love with a red heeler/german shephard mix 3 weeks ago. I visited her many times, and finally had to decided that I was not the right person for her. She is 5 years old, and had been abandoned. I just couldn't bring her into our home with the kids, as I was afraid she would remain wild and never fully love or trust us.
