      thanks for your support I am very lucky in one way my husband is very supportive but finds it very hard seeing me so upset by sons actions and him having to stand back and take it all in when he really wants to give him a clip round the ear lol

      From scutterbug September 23

      Your advice to me about replacing our grand's puppy was something I really thought about. It got me thinking about when we had to say goodbye to our first fosterchild after only having him 8 weeks I was so attached and sad that I told the soscial worker I couldn't do it again. She said I needed to do it one more time or I wouldn't get over it. Well, we ended up doing it 5 more times and then adopted another baby.) Anyway, getting another dog wasn't what pop pop wanted to do so I gave it to God on Friday morning with all my heart and decided to trust God to do what was best for her. Friday night pop pop came home with the cutest little black puppy. So glad to see her smiling again. Thanks
