Well, I DID take in a helpless pup, but I was not hoping to make him into a good man. I THOUGHT he WAS a good man. I really did. I was blinded by my love for him and by my need TO BE LOVED at the time. I was so wrapped up in all the love and attention he showered upon me, I was lavishing in it. I had never felt that before..... I felt SO loved and SO cherished, I was eating it up..... and yes, I agree, I was naive. I swooped in as a mother to "save" him from homelessness, without thinking. I did it instinctively while he cried to me on the phone saying he couldn't possibly go to a shelter and had nowhere to go. It pulled on my heartstrings.

Had I had my head square on my shoulders, I would have been looking at the bigger picture of what I already knew at that point. As I said, I dismissed and ignored ALL warning signs that didn't match with what I wanted to see and feel.

It is a learning experience for certain. And a financial hit that I will not forget. Over $10,000.

I am already worthy of a good man, and I know this. Not to toot my own horn and sound obnoxious or full of myself, but I know what i have to offer. I am honest, honorable, moral, loyal, respectful, kind-hearted, loving, giving, fun, etc etc. The problem is finding that good man who is WORTHY OF ME!
