I know how hard it is. I went through something similar with my dog Missy (a chow mix). She was living with a good friend of mine who had a nice house and three other big doggies to live with. I would visit her on the weekends and take her to the park. Julie and Cayter were able to meet her last year at a mini Az pet talk meeting. She recently moved to northern Arizona to live in a nice cabin in the mountains. She told me that I could take Missy if I wanted to. I thought about it, and I love Missy so much and the thought of her moving was really hard on me. But I knew that Missy wouldn't be as happy living in a small apartment with two cats. Bev loves Missy just as much as I do, Missy is also bonded with Bev's other dogs. I still get updates from Bev, Missy is very happy in her new home and she is loving the cooler weather and running around the mountains. It's getting close to winter so Missy is going to see snow for the first time in her life, I bet she is going to be so happy running around in the snow. I'm planning on going out there to visit her over Thanksgiving.

As hard as letting Missy go was, I know that I made the right decision.
