Goodbye Mr. Tumac

After much agonizing and weeks of discussion Daniel and I decided that it would be best for all concerned if puppeh-lou was not part of our lives. We just do not have enough time to give him the attention and training that a puppy requires. We were all miserable, especially puppeh, and it isn't fair to him or us to continue the way is has been going.


Yesterday I took Tumac to the Shelton Adopt-A-Pet no-kill shelter and left him in the caring hands of the wonderful volunteers there. Everyone exclaimed over how handsome he was and said they didn't think they would have any trouble at all placing him with a family that will love him and give him the attention he deserves. They have a beautiful facility where he can be around people all day long and play with other dogs to, until someone takes him to his forever home.

Goodbye Mr. Tumac. Thank you for teaching us we are not dog people and that we should stick to cats. It is valuable lesson.

Awww so sad, but you made the right choice. He will find a good family, I'm sure.
Dan and I have had many discussions over whether or not to get another dog. I keep saying "no I don't have it in me to raise another puppy." Cats are much less trouble... except for the peeing. =^..^=

It was the right thing to do, and I know he'll find a good home.

The shelter had four little shepherd puppies when I was there. Cutest things ever. If I ever got a dog again that would be the way to do it - get them small enough so you fall in love and by the time they are large smelly beasts you're already attached.
