OK, I'll try to make this quick..Jetty is technically my mom's dog..we gave her to my mom as a pup. My mom had her for two winters at the beach where she was living at the time. BUT she has lived with me (Jetty) for longer than she has lived w/ my mom. For every summer and all holidays and more some. Jetty (black lab mix who's mom is one of my sons dogs and Dad is my Badger, blue Aussie mix) has been living here now steady for over two years. Now my mom is living in TX and NOW wants her dog. My mom became quite sick after moving to TX w/ my daughter (after living here for a year) but now insisted she wants her dog..(my adopted dog i feel). So..tomorrow morning I have to put her in a kennel and drive to the airport and send her to TX. Jetty will be living w/ some 9 yr old boy in the neighborhood most of time and visiting my mom - who became ill and is now in a walker. My mom is 84 yrs old and yes, I should be thinking of what she wants but DANG..can't help thinking of what is best for Jetty. She loves it here w/ her 7 buddies...her momdog, daddydog, and seven brothers & sisters. She sleeps w/ me every night w/ her cat best friend and ... and I love her. Oh dang... my eyes are starting to leak and I'm so upset.. nothing I can do now except cry... sorry to bring anybody down but don't know who else would understand...
with great sadness
