Val, I am sorry to hear that this did not work out, but your instinct to protect Doogie is correct. We all react differently to grief and sometimes we are in such a state that we can't think of all the ramifications of what we are doing. You have learned much from this experience which will help you to determine which companion is the right one for you. I know you will be grieving for Molly too that it did not work out. You did love her, you just couldn't handle her. My thoughts are with you. Believe me I understand just how difficult this must have been for you.
