Yesterday was a hard day. I had to watch my daughter cry all the way home. We had a stray in our yard AGAIN. But this time I couldn't not help. I have always had trouble with that but my husband has kept me in check. This time I caved. My husband is allergic and I know this but his face melted me. So...... I put him in my fence and called the vet. They got him in right away to see if he had anything wrong with him. He did have roundworms but was healthy otherwise. So we treated him and gave him all of his vaccinations and rabies shots. Also I got him a heartworm med and monthly flea med. Husband was extremely upset with me so I started to cry. I knew we couldn't keep him but I have a very pampered pooch and children, I wanted to know he was safe to be around them. I know it had more to do with my soft heart but I couldn't help it. He melted it. So needless to say my husband apologized for making me cry and has just been silent about all of it. BUT good news is I found him a foster home for temporary with a wonderful woman. Bad news is she can't keep him for good, so she says. But I am keeping my fingers crossed that she does keep him and then my daughter can see him sometimes (she is my aunt). I feel good that I helped a stray and made him so happy but I am extremely sad that he couldn't be part of our family when he so badly wanted to stay here and play with my kids and me. ugh. Heavy heart today, except I am going to go and see him and bring dog food, collar, tug toys and a rawhide bone. Yep, I am going to spend more money on a dog that isn't ours.....am I crazy? Am I the only one who can't be mean??
