Thanks so much everyone for your support. I am doing better today due to several things:
1) I called and talked to CJ who had a 45 minute meeting with the people on Wednesday. She told me again that she was SURE they'd take care of him. She thinks they were in shock when they met me and basically felt like idiots for allowing someone so stupid to take care of their dog. But she said we will keep checking in on Nookie.
2) One of the phone bank volunteers from the telethon last weekend came in today with a card and a huge bag of candy for me. It made me feel so much better (even though I can't eat the candy cause I'm diabetic, heh). It was the effort she put into letting me know that I did a good thing that really made me happy. I don't even know the woman! Of course, I burst out crying right in front of her
Anyway, she's real cool and she's a groomer so I'm gonna send Reece to her. She even said she'd volunteer to come in once a week or month and groom our animals for free.
3) I got another old doggy to foster. He's a white mini Poodle. He was brought in today without an appointment and the person who works in Receiving said we couldn't take him in. The owner was in a dire situation (long story) so I said I'd foster the Poodle and find a rescue group for him. His name is Tyler and he's SO sweet with people, dogs, and cats. I looooove him. He's 11 yrs old. I already got him the signature leash and collar I buy all of my male fosters (the blue ones at PetSmart with the fake diamond studs). When I took him from that man this morning, we put him behind the desk with us. He was real scared and shy but he must have known I was the one who was taking him home because he stuck to my side like glue and was giving me kisses by the end of the day.
I think fate took over with Nookie and I feel like I did the right thing.
Thanks everyone for your support. I was at an emotional low yesterday. Sorry for my whining.
