Normally this is where I bow out as I deal with enough confrontation elsewhere. We do not know the issues Auggie and Angel were dealing with -- "walk a mile in my shoes" as they say. I do know the director of the center seemed to be to be very compassionate and cared about Maddie -- and Maddie found a home. I could not be more impressed than with the people here who went to such effort for a dog they had never known. So inspirational. That's why I pitched in.

So let's look at the glass half full. Maddie is home (and if it doesn't work out we'll know -- but it will!!) Auggie and Angel found each other through their passion for animals. Blending families can be very rough. Call me Pollyanna (for those of you who are old enough to know "the Glad Game") but I'm going to wish Auggie and Angel the strength to make things work and the belief that things happen for a reason -- Maddie is going to be blissfully happy in her "only dog" (I think I forgot to mention that in earlier posts) new home!
