My husband has decided that Candy Girl needs a new family. He has made the decision, that because of the kids we now have, we don’t have the time to take care of her the way she should be taken care of. She has been sort of put on the back burner. He found a new home for her, and will be taking her there today. He will have the new owners write up a paper stating that if they decide for whatever reason that they no longer want her, she is to be returned to us. He is also making them agree that we have the right to visit her from time to time, to make sure she is ok and being taken care of.
This is breaking my heart every which way a heart can be broken. She is MY Candy Girl. She was only 3 pounds when my husband brought her home to me as a gift. She had me at hello…I took on look at her and my heart melted. She has been my Candy Girl for the past 4 yrs. She was here before the kids. So ungodly not fair. I do not agree with this decision at all…not one little bit. Maybe I am selfish…I don’t care. He is right, I don’t spend the time with her like I used to…but that doesn’t mean I love her less. Since the kids came, they take all my time. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my pet. She lays at my feet when I am sitting and keeps my toes warm when I am on the computer. She is my shadow when I am walking around the house doing things, so much so, that sometimes I almost trip over her. She has been my constant companion for the past 4 years. She loves me all the time. She never yells at me or ignores me…her love is unconditional. I am going to miss my dog so very very much.
I did talk to the woman who is going to be her new owner. She appears to be a very nice woman. It is just her and her husband. Her daughter and 3 yr old grandchild used to live with them, and has now moved away. The woman wants my dog to love she says, to fill the void that is now in her life. Oh I pray she treats my dog with pure love.
Goodbye Candy Girl….I will never ever forget you. Nor will I ever own another pet for as long as I live, because this just hurts tooo damn much. I wonder if I will ever stop crying. Sure doesn’t feel that way right now.
