The hardest decision i've ever made :(
Wow, so i'm sitting here at work, crying my eyes out right now. I've made a decision that might be the hardest one I've ever made. This decision is harder then my decision to move here, or my decision to move home. I have to give my dog up for adoption. With my impending move in just over a month, I really have no choice.
When looking at apartments back home, only about 1 in 10 accept pets, and if they do, they charge a pet deposit and the rent is higher. My mom said that she would take her, but when it comes down to it, I wouldn't wish that upon her. I've seen the damage Ella can do, she has put 2 holes in my apt, and sheds alot, and makes messes more occasionally then most dogs. Granted, dogs do this, but at this point, it's too much for my mom or I to deal with.
It's been a good year and a half with her, and she has provided me company when I needed it most. But all good things must come to an end. I've talked to the animal shelter, and they are willing to take her back. I guess my hope is, that when they take her back, she will be at the bottom of the list when it comes to anything bad having to happen.
I'm gonna spend all day Sunday with her, and take lots of pictures. And then monday or tuesday I'll have to take her in... :(
