I got that e-mail this morning when I got to work and was crying so hard.....

Because that was sort of the case with Buddy.
I knew he was afraid of my hubby, and was under a lot of stress when the two were in the house together. So I started looking for a home for him, but never looked very hard. For a long time I felt very selfish about keeping him, thinking that maybe if I had looked harder in the beginning, I could have found a great home for him. But now that's he's been in my house for almost two years, I really don't think there is any other place he'd rather be!
