So I haven't been around much the past week or so. _It's been a busy week. _ _
On Friday our Foster dog, Norbert attacked Buford causing another dog fight. We caught it really quickly and broke it up this time, but in the process my bf got bitten and required a number of stitches to patch him up. _ _ _
Unfortunately I had no choice but to contact a local no-kill shelter for Norbert. I felt that the situation was getting out of my control and I didn't want any person or dog to get hurt. _ When I dropped Norbert off I sat in my truck and cried for a good five minutes. _ _ This particular shelter is a wonderful facility....I adopted my pretty girl, Wilma from them so I know they'll take wonderful care of him. _ I really didn't want him to go just any where. We'd spent the last 6 weeks building his confidence and getting him healthy and I didn't want that to go to waste in a noisy, public shelter. I just felt so very responsible for the whole situation because I'm the one that really wanted to foster the dog. We'd never had a dogfight before, and we haven't had one since. I donated his adoption fee and they've been keeping him up front behind the desk, so he'll get lots of exposure.
*sigh*
