I have to send Jetty to TX *tears*

[lbaker]

Well friends, here it is at quarter to four in the a.m. and I have to do it I tried last night to talk to my daughter & mom and NO GO.. daughter said I was just trying to, once again, think only of "myself" But I will do what Mayor Karen said and let them know if it doesn't work out Jetty can come back "home" at any time. Don't have access to my email right now so don't know if I have any PM's so please understand. Thank Dog my daughter-in-law is driving us because my eyes are all swollen and I'm breaking out in hives. I'm a mess but have to control myself because poor Jetty knows something is WRONG. Yeah Slick, a rock & a hard place is just how it feels. Yes, Jetty is a CARE DOG. She cares a lot and my mom will feel good having her near. Drat. What's a mother to do Logan?? It's my mom and she needs happiness now in her failing health.. she, as we all, needs the love of a good dog. Bye Jetty... oh Dog, I'm crying again......

I'm so sad for you and the position that you have been put in. We are all here for you. Jetty is a special girl and will really be missed by her family(and her kitty friend). At least your daughter will know that if things don't work out that she can come home at any time. Take comfort in the fact that Jetty will bring some joy and comfort to your mom.

**hugs**
Karen
P.S. I think we're in for some shopping(and flowers!) when I'm in town next week!

If you have shipped Jetty, I can only hope that she arrived safely and is busy doing the work to be done once she arrives with your Mom.

Laurie, what a difficult thing for you to do. I am not sure I could have done it myself!

Big hugs to you and I feel that you and Jetty will be together once again.

I can't begin to imagine how hard this is for you. I hope that it all works out for the best. (((HUGS))) Anna

I am apparently too late on replying to this...sorry about the decision you have been forced to make.

In my opinion, I would not send the dog though. I'm not trying to make more tears flow, but I kinda know what the situation feels like.

If Jetty is going there because your mom wants it, then it should live with her. If she is unable to take care of Jetty because of her age and the fact that she is in a walker, then she shouldn't have Jetty. I also think that since Jetty has grown so use to you and your family that he could possibly have a hard time with the seperation and being around not so familiar people. It would all be so confusing to him. Then once he gets there, he might not even enjoy it there and just mope around rather than be a "therapy dog" or be a happy dog which your mom wants. I don't know, it all seems kind of selfish on their part to me. Because they don't seems to be looking out for the best for Jetty. You on the other hand do seem to look out for Jetty's best intrest. I strongly believe Jetty should be staying with you and your family.

Best of luck with all that happens.
