Saying goodbye to pets.

I suppose life can't always be rainbows and butterflies. Though it would be so lovely. This week has been one of the gloomier weeks. I just felt like "something" wasn't clicking for me. Everything was getting me down in the dumps. I felt like I wasn't doing blowing people away at work, my personal life was lacking. I said goodbye to that certain someone and while it does feel right, it still kind of hurts at times to think I can't just pick up my phone and text.

Then there's Kingston. My pup. I took him in maybe a little over a month ago. He may be the cutest darn pup you've ever seen. He's an Aussiedoodle. I didn't pay for him, I wasn't looking for him. One day I saw his picture on a friend's Instagram and that he needed a home. I immediately felt like we were meant to be in each other's lives. This past month or so has been so wonderful being a dog-mama to him. He's super sweet, so stinkin' smart, friendly as ever and just an all around great dog. However, I didn't know taking Kingston, that he was mixed with Standard Poodle. I just kind of assumed he'd be a small more on the medium size of a dog. When I learned he was going to be 50-60lbs my heart just sank. I knew in my heart of hearts it wasn't fair to King to keep him cooped up in a small apartment. I felt like a terrible person for taking him in only to pass him along to another family.

A friend and co-worker offered to take him in. And it was so bittersweet. Knowing that someone who I absolutely adore and someone who would make King so happy would be willing to take him in. Her son and Husband are so excited to have King join their family. They have a nice house with a big yard and they both run and treat animals like I do. Family.

King is supposed to leave tomorrow evening. And I'm so torn about it. I am so sad that he will go and not remember me. I'm sad that I won't be able to be his dog-mama anymore. We can't cuddle or just play and hang out. But I'm so happy because he's going to get such an amazing family and have so many things that he can't have with me. It makes my heart sad and happy.

Anyway, usually I clean when I'm upset to keep my mind busy. So, on the bright side, clean home! :)
