    Had to say Goodbye twice today :(

    Since this is about a dog and a cat, I am just putting this in General.

    It seems the people at work have been keeping this from me because they knew I'd freak out. A dear little dog so close to my heart is being put down for aggression problems. He doesn't like men so my boss took him to get evaluated by a behaviorist and during the test, he went after her too. We were really shocked because he's never gone after a woman. And with the women he knows, he's the biggest, sweetest baby in the world. He knows my boss and I really well and we did a few tests with him and he would not go after either of us at all. In fact, he looked at us like we were stupid for thinking he would do anything to us. I would totally take him in a heartbeat but he doesn't get along with other animals very well I don't know when they are going to put him down. I'm afraid to ask. I said bye to him tonight and I haven't stopped crying yet. He's so young and healthy. And he just weighs 7 lbs I always walk around work carrying him like a baby and he'll put his paws over his eyes when I pet him. It might sound funny but its so cute. I dont really know how to explain it except he acts like a human baby. The first few days when he came in a couple months ago, I carried him around in my shirt because he was so scared. My heart is broken

    One of the kittens I rescued a few months ago has been having health problems. She's at the vet on fluids once again. I've posted pics of her here before. She was the little gray and white one named Jolie. Since I stopped fostering her and she's been up for adoption at my work, I guess it is their decision on what to do. I read a note that said they are having a meeting to see if she needs to be put down. I'm going to call the vet tomorrow though and possibly just adopt her if she has quality of life. She's not even 4 months old yet What an awful life she's had so far.

    These poor babies just don't deserve this. I was thinking about posting pictures of them but I don't want to make you guys as sad as I am. I am going to go hug my babies now and try to cry myself to sleep

    Oh Dear Aly,
    I am sooo sorry to hear this...of these and so many others....

    I was at the humane society the other day...and a gentleman volunteer offered to take and foster a little aaaaaaAussie/shep. mix that I was playing with...

    the lady he was talking to said
    " no you don't want that one"
    she would say no more in my earshot...
    so she said that she is taking him to be re-evaluated...he was found as a stray...doesn't seem to like other dogs...was all i heard.....
    i feel that she put a death sentence on this poor little guy and he didn't do anything...hes' probably scared more than anything...like your little guy....
    shelters try sssssooooo hard....but that is such a tough job....

    I hope that all works out for those 2 little ones...and ALL the others like them...

    Aly, It is so heartbreaking to hear how sad you feel. You have given so many animals a second chance of finding a home - and all the ones you have given love to - keep thinking of that. I hope you can get some rest tonight.

    I especially know how heartbroken you are. I hope that something can be done for them. You said that the little dog is fearful. Is he a fear biter? Is that his problem? He feels safe with you and your boss.
    Poor little kitty. I hope the vet finds that Jolie doesn't need to be put down.

    Try to sleep, aly. Your worries will not change anything. You need your rest so you don't get sick. {hugs}

    Both these animals have been blessed more than so many who have gone before - they have known you, and so have known what love and care are all about. I would give you a big hug if I could, but sometimes our arms just aren't long enough. Lather your animals with love and tummy rubs, and be sure to tell Shiloh we know she'll take good care of you.

    Aly, I'm sorry you have to go through that.. it's heartbreaking to see an animal that you just know has a chance, but you can't do anything about it. I hope that everything turns out for the best.

    ((((hugs))))

    Aly, I haven't been able to post much lately (many personal problems I will discuss later) but had to ditto Karen's remark. These babes are blessed to have known you and will have some happy, loved moments to remember at the Bridge (if that's what it comes to). I think of you (and all of you) often and will try to explain later. Sammi, I will pm you later if it comes to that.

    Oh Aly I am so sorry. Just remember, they are looking down on you from the RB, smiling at you. Hope everything turns out well. God bless.

    Guys, I('m on a short break from work but PLEASE KEEP PRAYING. There may be hope for both Harley and Jolie. Its looking like I will most likely be taking in Jolie. And a co-worker and I are hard at work with Dachshund rescue trying to find an alternative for little Harley boy. In the meantime, he's getting spoiled to death (he had Jack in the Box for lunch today ). I will pick up Jolie from the vet tomorrow most likely. Thanks for the prayers. I think they are working!!! The Harley situation may or may not work out so please pray hard

    Gosh, I have an awful migraine. I'll update more when I know.
