I don't normally use such language, but today was awful. We had to say goodbye to the pup we adopted this summer. Bettis had become aggressive to Andrew and myself, and was constantly lunging at and aggressive towards the cats. It had become dangerous, and it wasn't fair to the animals who were here first. The hard part is that 75% of the time Bettis was a sweet lover, and we are going to miss that so, so much. But last night, I was literally afraid to get into bed because of his growling and snarling. We can't live like that, and the anxiety that the cats were causing him wasn't fair to him either. I cried during the entire drive, and I cried when we took him in. They assured us we had done the right thing, and they felt confident they could find him a good home that would work better for him. Knowing how much he hated being there, taking him back felt absolutely awful. We NEVER thought we would be the people to return or surrender a pet. But we know this was what had to be done. We are so, so sad about this, but are cuddling our cats to love on them.
