I am sad today
I'm feeling very depressed today. My depression comes and goes, I know. First, I missed my pshychology appointment, which made me feel bad. I slept through my alarm, which I'd been doing better getting up but had a setback today. I couldn't sleep lastnight. Then, today I had to do something that made me feel very sad. Frank's dogs puppies are 8 weeks old. We tried and tried and tried to give them away. People would say they wanted one and then change their minds. I called pet stores and vet clinics and none of them adopt out animals. They only take animals that have come from the local animal shelter. They were getting big, just living in a big cage. Their mama no longer wanted anything to do with them. The cage smelled. It was time for them to find good homes. To keep them any longer was not fair to them. So, Frank asked me to take them to the animal shelter. I wanted him to go with me but he didn't want to. I can understand. I didn't want to go either. I put the sweet things in a big plastic box with a soft bathmat in it. I took them to the shelter. Of course, I had to fill out papers to surrender them. I told the people that a friends dog had them and he didn't have the heart to bring them in so he asked me to do it. One lady came out and put dibs on 2 of them. But, there was one lady in the office that kept giving me a nasty look. I couldn't understand it. It made me feel so bad. It's dark and dreary today. The snow's pretty but I'm ready for it to melt. I feel like I just want to cry. I wish Frank understood that sometimes I just need a good cry.

Oh dear my friend, I know this must have being hard for you to do, but you did the right thing. I sure they will find good homes for them. Sometimes I pick up dogs here on the road with my mom and and I always find it hard as well to take them to the pet shops or dog shelters. But we have got such good phones calls back to say they have found a home for them. So I sure they will find a home for them. Don\'t let that women upset you, with the nasty looks she was giving you. Hugs and I am here for you if you need to chat. Sorry also to hear you have being feeling depressed, that is not easy as well. I know for myself I sometimes feel depressed. Hugs and Love Dezna
