...So. I returned Lyle to the shelter today.
That's all I really have to say because I don't want to think about it or talk about it right now otherwise there will be more tears today.
If you do leave a comment about this, please, please, please, do not say anything that remotely sounds like, 'But you could have...' or 'but you should have...' and especially not 'he's so cute, how could you do that??!?!'. Trust me, it was not a decision I took lightly, nor is it one I feel particularly good about, but I do feel sadly relieved. The shelter woman practically shot daggers at me (which in her position, I don't blame her but that doesn't mean it made me feel good), and I think the YOUR PET MIGHT BE EUTHANIZED in all caps on the surrender form I had to sign was quite enough berating with the guilt stick for me. What's done is done; I don't need anyone else making me feel bad about it.
Also? No kitty icons, please. My eyes were feeling watery just looking at the kitschy stores with kitschy cat things in them today with my parents.
Sorry for the drama, and I might explain more later, I just can't right now.
