I am feeling tons of mixed emotions right now. This past weekend we went with the whole family and the dogs down to St. George. We all had a great time. However, before St. George I had pretty much had it with my huge loving dog. She is a ton of work and a big space taker-upper! I don't claim to be a dog person, I do love my dogs, but I have felt for a long time that my life would be incredibly simpler with out Terra.Yes, Yes! I remember how much I wanted her. I remember that I missed her and was so so sad when she went to St. George and we almost got rid of her before. I love this dog. More importantly, my children LOVE this dog. They all show her love and affection, but sometimes she is more than I want to handle.
Last night I put an ad on KSL and it was answered. Someone wants to come pick her up today! I just don't know! I had made my decision, I was firm, and now I am totally waffling. I don't want to be this sentimental over her, but this is a really big decision.
So, today she has been a perfect dog, only barked once, not crazy, I am sure I am insane. Ryan says my perspective has changed, I am sure it has, but what do I do. I need you to talk some sense into me! I have made this matter of prayer and I need to know! I don't want to make a huge mistake of getting rid of her.
Jordan already knows and was much more upset than I would have thought. This morning he was so sweet with her.
Yesterday I was so ready, and today I am not so convinced! I am so confused.

That is a hard one. I don't want a dog because of the work but I know that every dog we ever had growing up I loved to death. Good luck with making your decision:)
the only reasons i won't ever get a dog are the poop and hair shedding! just keep these in mind. try not to think about how it's nice to have a "companion" for your kids.......wait.....now i'm having second thoughts! good luck.
actually, she is gone. so is the emotion. i know i made the best choice for me. ryan is sadder than i expected and that makes me feel bad. i know time will heal that for him. i feel great!
WOW, what a hard decision. I am glad that you feel good about it. I'm sure that was tough on the whole family.
I'm so glad you made the decision. When it comes down to it, I think simplifying life is always better, and pets are a ton of work. And I'm pretty excited to run with you. Leslie Ann bouyed (spelling?) me up last night, and I think I can do it!
