I've been doing better holding myself together in public. At night it seems to be the hardest because I live alone and have a lot of time to think. Reece and Shiloh do help but they've been so lazy recently, all they want to do is sleep. It must be the hot weather. It was pretty hard on me getting those pictures of Harley today though. I am so nervous because he'll have to fly on a plane to get to his new home. I am also nervous because I won't know the people he's going to. I've been spending extra time at the shelter helping the dogs there because that makes me feel better. I'm getting sooooo attached to a lot of them though. I love getting to know them and spending a lot of time with the dogs who have been there for awhile but at the same time it breaks my heart that people come in only wanting puppies or purebreds and these perfectly wonderful dogs are ignored constantly. I don't have anything against people getting puppies but when that's ALL they'll even consider, I get a little upset. Its funny when people come in wanting "a dog who doesn't shed, bark, have accidents in the house, chew, jump, .." and we tell them we have the perfect one for them and lead them to the beanie baby shelf, hehe. Opps, I just got way off topic. Back to Harley, I miss him to death but I am using this whole experience to help other people too. I've directed a few people to this board in similar situations. I hope they check it for the sake of their animals' safety and happiness.

Thanks all for checking on me. You have all helped so much.
