NN- I have tears right along with you-- tears of sadness for you/but also relief, and tears of joy for Maggie. This is for the best NN. Maggie will be with her new friends, and soon have a forever home that fits her personality. You did not fail in any way-- you gave to her your unconditional love-- you have done what is best for her now.

Thankful you did not call the breeder-- No no no to breeders-- way too may in need.

give yourself time to heal- physically(hand) and emotionally. Think in the positives- see Maggie in a happy light.

Puppy is gone. I well never see her again. they were very nice and Mags was just happy happy and kissing the lady. She said that Maggie is so beautiful and nice that they will find the right family for her.

Broke my heart. She told me to into the other room while she took her away. I was crying too much. And she assured me that it is not a shelter, but a lovely place for her, and she is soo sweet that it will not take long to get her a family. And they screen them. And have at least 3 in home visits. And a family day where they can run and get to know one another.

My Maggie is gone.

I don't know what I am going to do know. I have nothing.


I have to put her puppy stuff away now.

NN- you have memories to hold- the good ones- the playfulness and zest for life that Maggie had while she was with you. Think only in the positives- the wonderful place she will have, and that forever home. She gave to you unconditional love, and you gave back with unconditional love by letting her go. Just think of the life that is before her.

Maggie will be fine :) Do something to fill your mind... its ok to think about something other Maggie... later, you can think about her and smile remembering her antics. Some people do housework when they're distraught (my hubby wishes I was one of them - I hate to vacuum). Do you have an SK book you can escape into?
I once read somewhere that in these types of situations it's good to make yourself get out and do something totally different from what you'd normally do-- make a complete break with your routine, if only for a few hours. If you never hike, go on a long hike. If you never get a pedicure, go get one. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something completely out of the ordinary for you. I think the logic in this is that stepping out of your routine will help you gain some perspective on your current situation.

Oh baby-girl, you have me crying. I'm so sorry, kiddo... I wish there was something we could do to make things better for you.

Your body is unwell right now... just lie down and let sleep take care of you--and when you wake, get up, put some loud music on... drink lots of water, eat some real food and take your medications.
Keep doing this until the infection is gone and you start to heal... come here each day and talk about how you are feeling...

In your mirror.

Everyone is giving you excellent advice. It's up to you to listen and do so.

My two cents:

No alcohol. Not good to drink when you are ill and on medication(s). Also, it's a depressant and that's the last thing you need.

Your pain/loss of Maggie... leave that here______until you are strong and healthy. Not easy but leave it alone as much as possible.

As others have said, make sure you eat, drink lots of water, rest and KEEP A LOG OF MEDS. (The day, time and amount you took.)

I send you thoughts, prayers and

Peace.

Sorry guys.

Why do I keep waking up? I am supposed to make a call this morning but I am afraid to do so.

I called the Golden Retriever rescue and talked to the Amy, the owner. The said puppy is scared but good. I said please please hugs and tell her mommy loves.

I think I might have a fever. Jen so good to see you and baby bone chrucher agan. (sp)

Last time I fell with pup, I also broke a tooth. and that is making me out of my mind.

I am trying to get the nerve up to make the call, while my insurance is still good.
