Because even the best of things must end, I guess I'm ok with it. But, I hurt for a long time.....
I have gone separate ways of the rescue organization with whom I so enjoyed working alongside. My poor Gracie was the recipient of many hugs, and I think she is still unsure of what the wall did to receive such a punch.
But, knowing that I gave my best to them, that I did nothing wrong, and knowing that they have actually shown themselves to be very concerned about the welfare of the animals and not very concerned about the welfare of people, I am ok leaving. I will take the wonderful lessons, the great memories, and the strength that I learned working with them. I leave them themselves.I will miss the dogs, though.
