Yesterday was a very sad day!!!!

Give yourself a HUGE pat on the back for being a thoughtful, caring and wonderful pet owner who put the welfare of their dog before their own feelings - if only everyone was like you.........

It must have been so hard for you to come to this choice, but you know you made the right one. (((HUGS))) Tyson will be forever grateful that you did this. Good thoughts coming your way.

**beeniesmom** · 06-21-2006, 11:25 AM

Still hugging you from here.
I knew everyone here would understand too.

**Karen** · 06-21-2006, 11:35 AM

Sending you big hugs, and give Thor a bellyrub for me, okay?

**gini** · 06-21-2006, 11:50 AM

My heart goes out to you - what a horrible decision for you to have to make.
But it seems clear that your main concern was the welfare of Tyson.

All of us cheer you for that!

**Jadapit** · 06-21-2006, 12:54 PM

I'm so sorry you are feeling so down.

What you did for Tyson was the best for him, in my eyes that is a true act of love. (((Hugs)))

**lv4dogs** · 06-21-2006, 02:07 PM

Oh Sannon, my heart aches for you & my eyes tear for you. {{MANY HUGS}} I can't imagine what you are feeling right now but please rest assured that you made the right choice for Tyson. You my friend are a VERY strong & a VERY caring person to follow through with such an act of kindness.
If you need anything, anything at all please know that I am here for you.

((((Hugs)))))

I'm sorry you had to make that decision. I can't imagine what you are going through. (((HUGS)))

**Lobodeb** · 06-21-2006, 12:14 PM

Awww, Shannon. My heart is breaking for you. I hope you know you did a very selfless thing for Tyson. Not many people would be willing to put aside their feelings for the sake of what's best for their dog. You are amazing.

I can feel the hurt in your post. I hope you feel better knowing that what you did is really best for him.

Thanks for the PM. I would have missed this as I'm not able to come around as much as I'd like.

Well said! I cant imagine how hard it is to give away a dog but you found him what sounds like a good home! So try not to feel too bad and you will still be able to visit him?

**new mom to a veiled** · 06-21-2006, 07:24 PM

I would like to thank each and everyone of you. All your kind words have brought me great comfort and reassurance (sp?) as well as many tears. Just when I think I can't cry anymore

there I go again.....

I think Thor is pretty PO'd..........I came home tonight to garbage all over the house!!!!!!All I could do was laugh!!!!! Taking him by to see Tyson when he (Tyson) gets settled is a GREAT idea (thanks

) No worries Thor is getting lots of loving & belly rubs (as if he wasn't spoiled enough already)

Thanks again for all the hugs, kinds words and thoughts.....It really makes me feel better, knowing I made the right choice for him....

TRIPLE DITTO!
As painful as your decision was,know that he'll be loved to pieces, have lots of room to run and play and will never forget you either. You sound like a great mom and wife who needs a few more hours in the day! Whew! Who says dogs don't "get even'? Hmmmmm. good job with the garbage, Thor!

You are such a great person to consider your pups feelings before your own. I am glad that You can laugh, and that Thor is helping you out. Whenever you feel like crying, just give Thor a big hug, and he will give you lots of love
