Salty has left the building.
I am relieved but also very very sad.
I do think we did our best while she was here, but don't feel that we did our best by having her here to start with. But we did sincerely believe that we wanted two dogs, and as you know we wrestled with that decision for some time before she came.
You are right, I should stop beating myself up about it, but I do guilt in a big way!
I really can't tell you all how much I have appreciated your advice, kind words, encouragement and help in all this. It's been a really tough week for all of us here. A real roller coaster with bits of fun and sadness all mixed in.
Hopefully we have learned more about ourselves and will more appreciate what we have in the future, hopefully the rescue will be able to use the extra knowledge we have been able to pass on about Salty to find a super new home for her, and hopefully we will all be able to move on now with no regrets (not sure about that one though!)
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
