Today, my little girl went home. Just to clarify... this is a dog I'm talking about. :) Sky finally got adopted. I'm not going to lie to you all and say I didn't cry. I definitely cried... in front of everyone... but they were tears of joy, so it's acceptable.
She went to a really good couple who love her as much as I do. It's pretty much set up as if they adopted my child and it was an open adoption. They have my email so they can send me pictures and the guy is getting his master's degree from UT. I'll see her again and it'll be wonderful.
All of the staff know how much I love this dog. The connection we have isn't something you can miss. I've worked with her since she got there (over 2 months ago!!!!) and helped her through a few behavioral issues. She helped me as much as I helped her. A few of the staff even tracked me down to make sure I did her visit. :) I was the one they made sure helped with everything. I did all of her "go home." Took her to exam, into the office, and out the front door.
These people couldn't have been more understanding. It's sad to see her go, but I'm happy she's going home. The timing worked out well. I'm leaving at the end of the week and now I don't have to worry about her. She'll be happy.
Jerry should have been there today to ask me why I was crying, because I actually was this time. :p
Now marks the start of finals week. At this point, there's only one I really care to study for. Of course I'll study for all 3, but I won't want to. :p
I'm not ready to leave. I'm just not ready. I'll be back soon.... which is something I keep repeating to make myself feel better.
