When I first read this post I thought to myself...I will not respond....I don't want to get involved. I feel now, though, that I just want to say that there have been things that I have done in my life that, looking back, I am maybe am not so proud of. I think everyone can say that because no one is perfect. Angel, I know that you loved Maddie and I am sure your decision to give her up hurt a lot. You would have never been a Pet Talker in the first case if you didn't love your pets. I do hope that you will still lurk here from time and time and maybe consider returning at some point in the future. For now, let's please just let this rest!
