I have no criticism either, Missy. It's the right decision for you and your family. You're a very sensible, smart, lady and you know what needs to be done. Ginger will be happy I'm sure. There is no reason on earth for anybody to down you for this. I know it was a hard decision to make and I'm sorry. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

On another note: I've met many Goldens in my 57 years of life. Not one of them was identical to any other one. All Goldens are not alike, all Pitties are not alike, all Chis are not alike, etc. etc. etc.
A person can research until the cows come home and not know if the dog they bring home will be suitable for their particular situation. Bottom line; every dog is not always suitable for every person. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
On a second note: There are two small children in this home. This is alot different than there being no children at all.
I'm pretty certain that there were many factors in making this decision. This dog has gone to a home that's better suited for her. What could be wrong with that?

buttercup: You're so sure that Missy could have done better.........do you know her pretty well? Your comments were totally uncalled for.
