@unlived:

Thanks for your support. Yes, the bond between a dog and their human is very strong. When i tried to give her away the second time the person and i went out for a walk and even when i tried to let them go off on their own my dog looked back and wouldn't take her eyes off me. It would be very hard on her. She'll be ten this year and may only live four or six more years so i will just have to grin and bear it. Part of this is my depression of course. I find her delightful when my mood is up. It's just a particularly hard time.

@BethRags:

Thanks for your support. Yes, it is a sad situation. She was a manic impulse purchase. You can't unring a bell. I'm feeling better about her this morning since i slept nice and late. I feel so unhealthy when i wake up early. And my one close neighbor offered to drive us to her grooming that i rebooked in the afternoon, even tho the neighbor prefers morning. So that's nice. Also, getting up later means getting her urine sample in won't be such an ordeal.
