Thread: He's gone..

  1. #1

    He's gone..

    Ozzy's leaving tomorrow. I've made my decision.

    I went back and forth for weeks, and shed many tears making this decision. I just want what's best for my dog. Kristen (his breeder) promised to find him a wonderful home that would keep in touch with us. We're returning Ozzy to her tomorrow..

    Today is my last day with him. I'm going to make the best of it. I'm always going to remember the fun times we had running on the greenbelt, and the memorable times we had in obediance class..His obediance graduation...Gosh, I love him.


    Well....just thought you guys might want to know.

    It all comes down to what is best for Ozzy. I'm sorry for the tough decision but only you can know if it is the right one. I'm here if you need to talk. *hugs*

    We'll miss you too Ozzy. Take care, boy.

    Some of our most memorible times...

    At the lake..

    At the dog park...his first time doing agility..

    Ozzy's first Christmas..

    Ozzy's first Halloween..

    His graduation from obediance..


    And so many more..Like going to three dog shows with him. We had so much fun together, and I'm going to miss him so damn much. I'm starting to tear up as I type this.
    I can't believe he's actually leaving. I never expected this. He's just too much though..I want to keep him, but it would be so much better for him to be in a home where he can get all the attention and play time he wants and needs..God, i feel like such a terrible dog owner.

    Hope Ozzy finds a better home soon, so, he can start bonding with his new family. Good that his breeder took him back for you.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    I'm sorry i cant imagin what you are going though, maybe when the pain has healed you could adopt an older dog who just wants a family to be part of.
    Wish you and ozzy luck

    Yeah, I don't think getting another dog would be that great of an idea. You have Darlin, she'll just get all of your attention.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    It is always hard to make a decision that is good for the animal concerned. I just did that with my precious Jo ....

    You seem to have really thought about it, and I am glad that you are giving him back to the breeder to help find him a new home.

    It is good that the breeder has agreed to rehome him, and with someone who will keep in touch, too. Ozzy is a sweet dog, and some day, when you are grown and have a home of your own, maybe another collie will steal your heart.

    Snuggle Darlin' lots tomorrow, I know this is a difficult time for you.

    I wish every breeder were as kind and responsible!

    I really don't know what to say....so I'll just leave it at that.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
