I'm so sorry aly. I'm not sure I could handle that. I would be a mess...it would probably take me longer than a month to recover...you are a much stronger person than I am. I'm sure though things will work out. I am beginning to be a strong believer that all things happen for a reason. You must be who Bailey needs right now and when his forever owner shows up he will love them just as much. At least you can put down on his profile that he is a real lover and bonds strongly to his human. I hope you feel better soon and Bailey finds his forever home. Mike found a dog yesterday running loose and we have him until we find his owner...who supposedly lives nearby, but I already love him to death and it will be hard to give him back, so I can imagine how you feel. Hang in there, I'll be thinking about you and I'm sure it work out for the best very soon.
