So I have one more car load from Renton and I'll be officially all moved in. I had a moment of loneliness and a "what am I doing?" this week, and almost went to go get the dog back. I had to have a true down and dirty heart-to-heart with myself about 2 weeks ago, and decided that Cougar would have a better quality of life with a family who could spend much more time with her. And it broke my heart. And still does (am actually crying about it again). Not only did I have to go pick her up from Craig in Renton, but I drove all the way down to Oly with her in the car, knowing she wasn't coming back with me. Yes, judge me, now's the time. But in re-organizing my life I have to have an un-selfish moment and admit that the live animal that depends on me also needs to have a better situation than I can offer right now. Maybe that's an adult decision, maybe it's not. But I own up to it and I have to stop myself from going back to get her about every other day. I take a lot of heart in the fact that the president of the Corgi Rescue screens very rigorously and I KNOW Cougar will go to the most deserving family. (I am hopefull that her name, WSU collar, leash and accessories will keep her at the least with fellow cougars; maybe it's harder than it's worth to change all the microchipping info on her.. :) )
So, I need get to the end of this month, be done with all the moving and landlord business and get a busy personal schedule back. Starting with Saturday at the Ram in U-village at 9; open invite, I'll be out having a good time, and cutting loose.
