I had to make the hardest decision of my life to-date today... My mother told me that her dog went to the vet and the testicles which to this point have yet to make an appearance were not going to. Basically, this means no puppies for Penny. So today I decided that since Buff wasn't going to get any offspring to play with, it would be better for all of us if Penny stays with my parents. My mom's retired, they have a fenced yard and a dog door that allows 24x7 access to the yard and it would make it easier on my parents having a companion for Buff because he has a high maintenance personality. Penny will benefit because she won't be stuck inside the house all day waiting for me to come home from work to let her out. Then with Lissa starting softball, we were going to be gone another 2 nights a week on top of Girl Scouts, etc. Really, Penny staying with my parents is a good thing, isn't it? I miss her, but there are so many things that I can do without right now like the dog hair and the poo everywhere. I feel like such a failure, just one more thing that I took on that I didn't follow through with. The kids are thrilled that she is staying with my parents since she is such a pain in the butt. And it's not like I'll never see her, I go there every other weekend. So, basically I'm mixed on this one. I'm pretty sad but I don't know if I'm sad because I miss her or because I failed. Guess time will tell.
