I posted this on facebook but I know some of you don't have access to it.
Here's what I said:
Well now we are down to 1 till Monday when this cutie patootie makes his way up to Paula's house for living, training, playing and getting his chance to strut his stuff in the show ring.
I am rather deeply sad as I get when all the pups go ...or almost all go and then I get past it. I equate it with kids moving out and growing up. It's a process and I wonder if human or pups think I celebrate but I celebrate their journey but the process is a process that is hard. I do love the pups. I do love my kids and their kids - all different but important in their unique way.
I want to add to this message that when the pups come back for their play date or stay over on occassion, I gain closure and it all makes sense and makes the process worth it.
So don't worry about the process. It is necessary for all of us but so worth it to reach the end result for pup and family. When it all works it does my heart good!
I can't imagine someone not caring but we love them enough to know that we can't keep them all and that having that family to love them immensely - well that works.
