Glad I'm not the only sap on blogger!<br />Abe, You'd be surprised how quick a puppy forgets us, once it's in a good home and getting lots of individual attention. MUCH quicker, than I forget them! I used to cry with every puppy that left. That was hard. After about 20 litters, I finally got used to it. Well, as much as one can. We make every effort to get out puppies into good homes, preferably where they can fulfill their life's purpose to hunt birds. Putting a dog to sleep, that's a whole other story. I've had to face that twice, and it just kills me. It's the worse thing a dog lover will ever have to face. Both times, something inside me died too. There's a part of my heart that will never heal.<br />Tim, Thanks for your kind words! It's people and friends like you, that keep us going!Karen Thomason/Gordon Setter Crossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227448504530795035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201631721768549372.post-61198766992864409832011-09-26T11:45:11.064-06:002011-09-26T11:45:11.064-06:00Karen gives her heart to all her pups.

I am crushed when one of our dogs has to be put to sleep and being a photographer, I love to take pictures of them doing anything. I am so glad I have photos of my dogs. My very first two dogs and me sitting on the edge of the old porch is the oldest photo I have and I remember those two dogs like it was then, yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201631721768549372.post-25380962059771226742011-09-25T18:59:15.244-06:002011-09-25T18:59:15.244-06:00What a sweetie!

I have the same problem with the goat babies.We try to be there when they are born and go out and socialize with them several times a day so they will make good pets or milkers for their new homes.The draw back is getting attached to them. I just have to start thinking about the next batch of babies,lol!Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795916460978775241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201631721768549372.post-45328558924924490542011-09-25T18:50:45.991-06:002011-09-25T18:50:45.991-06:00I'd miss him too.

It is easy to get attached to them, especially if they don't destroy the house. Glad he is in his forever home though, as it should be!<br /><br />{{{Hugs}}}Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.com
