Loss

Today's post is brief.

As I write it there are tears dripping on my keyboard.

Yesterday I received this photo in a text...

from Dr. Becky's hubby who is our UPS driver.

He saw it on his route.

Sadly, I had to do the right thing.

If one of my precious pups were missing, I would want someone to contact me as well.

It would have been so easy to keep him... but that would have been wrong.

It's our loss.

His owner is just a young fellow....

he lives quite far away and was visiting his Mother when his pup disappeared.

I urged him to micro-chip Blitz (aka Tucker)

and to put an identifier on his collar.

He was grateful for the care we had given his pup.

So, I packed up "Tucker's" new toys and handed him over to his boy.

My heart is a little bit broken right now.

But, it was the right thing to do.

PS....Hubbs did text his owner and tell him that if he changes his mind about the dog,

or falls on hard times,

we would take him back in a heartbeat.

On an even sadder note, Dr. Becky's 12 year old Aussie Shepherd passed away yesterday.
Indie was a special soul... seen here in the snow this winter.
(Dr. Becky is Hubbs' sister...her home is on our farm as well.)

The snow has been replaced by clouds....because all dogs go to heaven!
