Well, He must have looked too cute in his Halloween costume. He's gone to his forever home tonight and I am missing him TERRIBLY! He has a great home and I should be happy, but I loved that little guy and had figured he was mine forever with his short ear and his past skin problem. My sister called tonight and said her husband finally gave them the OK and they rushed over to get him. Isabella and I have been crying ever since.
I am seriously sad. I can't believe how attached I was to that boy. I know I still have Ace and Spoticus. Spoticus has always been my chosen one and I will never let him go. Ace is sweet, but he is hyper and he just never cuddles like Cowboy did. I feel guilty for wishing they had chosen Ace, but it is true. That's how I feel. I will still love Ace, but I can't help feeling so sad. This sucks! |

At least he's staying in the family. You'll still get to see him grow up. How are away does your sister live? And please give Ace a little extra loving. Dogs are very sensitive and you never know if he'll feel that you wished he was adopted. |

| You scared me half to death! I thought something bad had happened to him! I can't imagine having to give up puppies after having lovingly raised them the way that you have done. Hope you and Rachel feel better soon. |

| I know you must be sad. Giving up someone as cute as Cowboy or all the puppies must be really hard. That's why I could never be a foster mommy. It would break my heart. I truly admire the ones who can do it. |

| Awwwww. Sorry you are so sad. That is why I would never want to raise puppies. The good news is that your sister has him so I would think that you will see him often. Are you still looking to place Ace or are you going to keep him? How's Tinkerbell doing with the disappearing babies? |

| I got scared too! That would be SO difficult, I can't even imagine raising sweet puppies and then having to watch them go to other people! I agree with Lucy's Mommy that's why I could not foster, my heart would break!! |

Awww, so sorry you are upset.....I really don't know how you do it....raising those cute pups and then giving them away..... I know I couldn't do it.....at least you know the ones who have gone all have wonderful forever homes.....although I can certainly understand why you would be sad......

Oh, I am so sorry. We raised labs when I was a kid (hunting dogs), and it just tore me up to watch them go, no matter how good the home was they were leaving for. I got attached to each and every one, named them, played with them, wished I could keep them and live in a world of dogs. I know as an adult I could never raise puppies unless I was financially prepared to keep them all. By the way, I've meant to tell you, I think Spoticus is the greatest name ever. Kate |

First, I totally apologize for scaring you guys. I typed that message last night through tears and I guess my sadness came through. I should have said gone to new home, but all I could think of was he was gone. gone from my house, my arms, my little pack. I appreciate all of your support. I know I'm being a big baby. My heart just heart and I knew I could tell you guys and you would understand.
We are keeping Ace and Spoticus. I can't do this anymore.
Thanks,
Carol
P.S. I think I'm going to re-name Ace to Aciellious Maximus to match Spoticus Urellious Maximus, but still call him Ace. He his a silly boy so Aciellious kind of matches his personallity. He just needed a bigger name. |

| So lucky for Ace and Spot to be raised together. How is Tinkerbell doing with them now that they are more grown? I remember seeing mama dogs ready to "kick" the pups out as they grew up. Didn't know if that was that particular dog or just part of nature. |

Wow I was afraid to click on this link, thought it was something bad ......aww I really dont know how all you people do this, breeders too.... I would get so attached after 3 days wouldnt give any up lol... I am so glad I got my holly fixed.....I would probably end up with 9 hyper pups just like her lol... At least you still get to see him, you can have family reunions you gotta look at it like that.

Tinkerbelle does kick their butts, but she loves playing with them, as long as she is alpha dog. Ace challenges her sometimes, but she always wins! Spoticus is just a Mama's boy to Tinkerbelle and to me. He still tries to nurse! They are all playing on my bed right now. Tinkerbelle has on her pink "Royal Fashion Princess" hoodie and the boys have matching Red/Black..."Puparazzi Superstar" hoodies. They are all rolling around trying to bite the hoodies off of each other. They are cute and I know I'm lucky to have them.
We all just really loved Cowboy and miss his sweet laid back personality. He was a cuddler and Ace is a spaz. Maybe we can train him to be cuddly. Or is it once a spaz, always a spaz?
Thanks,
Carol |

Carol, I know you will feel better with Cowboy in his new home in a few days, I can;t imagine how you feel. If it makes it any better, I have a spaz in Angus, but he is the cuddliest one of the two. Maybe ace will be a cuddly spaz...lol. Love his big boy name. |

I know you're sad hon, but PLEASE don't scare me like that. I felt my heart stop when I saw this thread, I thought I'd be on my way back to Ga. to see if I could help in any way. I'm glad that Cowboy has a new loving forever home. I know it hurts, I'm in for the same deal with Gaho and and her little ones and I won't have a choice but to let them go. At least you know where he is and who he is with and you will still get to see him. Love to you from us. Dear Mommy Carol, Please don't be sad you know that we all still love you and we always will. Mommy Janie says you can come see me and cuddle with me any time you want too. Brudder is with Auntie and you know he will be loved. At least he isn't as far away as I am Mommy Carol. I hope you will come see me some time and bring my brudders Ace and Spoticus and Mommy Tinkerbelle with you. I really want to play with the new puppies Mommy Janie brought home but she won't let me. The mommy to those babies is nice unless she is feeding the babies and then she doesn't want me any where around her pen. So Mommy Janie says if you want to play with more babies to come on to our house. Please kiss my brudders and Rachel and Tinkerbelle and well just everybody for me and tell them to kiss you for me. I love you Mommy Carol. Love always, Nala Belle. |
