Reply Contact i know exactly how you are feeling, felt the same way when we went to pick up our little Bonnie Blue.  I felt so guilty about our darling Apirl.  Still do at times, but Bonnie has helped us so much and kept us busy. *S*  Good luck with your new little pup.  Enjoy Bonnie Blue Belle April - Feb. 2, 2000 - Dec. 11 - 2007

  Re: Today is the BIG day! Reply Contact Oh, Dyan, I'm so happy for you!  Did I miss something?  Last I knew you were turned down by a rescue.    Anyhoo- good luck with the new baby.  Can't wait to hear all about him.  Oh, there will be pictures, right?  I totaly understand the mixed feelings.  I went through the same thing when we got Caleb.  I still feel guilty once in awhile because of how much Caleb and I have bonded.  But, like others have said, that's normal.    My name is Sue How do you do?

  Re: Today is the BIG day! Reply Contact Really happy for you and DH, Dyan!  And the new pup is a lucky little boy!  Can't wait to her all about this new adventure. I understand your mixed feelings - I often feel pangs of guilt and twinges of sorrow when Ernesto is sitting in my lap and I'm stroking him because Iggy used to spend more time in my lap than the other cats.  But I push past it 'cause it's not fair to the sweet pets that are still with me. Kitty boy Iggy, forever in our hearts...

  Re: Today is the BIG day! Reply Contact Yay yay yippie!!!  Squeeeee!  you're getting a new puppers!  I'm so very happy for you & DH.  I'm positive that Bubby is smiling her sweet Dane smile & saying to herself "oh, what a lucky dog.  You're going to have the BEST life." No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. Help feed an animal by going to the Animal Rescue Site http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3

  Re: Today is the BIG day! Reply Contact Oh boy, and does he have big feet and floppy ears.   He is sleeping on DH right now so that I can come here for a while.   Don't know what to do with a puppy...YIKES!    Thanks everyone...for the best wishes and the moral support. I DO feel a little guilty about Bubblegum..but I know it is because of her that we need a dog here..she was such a wonderful friend. Now,,,if only I can remember how to post pictures to Photobucket to get them to you guys....geez,,,remebering how easy it used to be on the old Idog to post pictures.   Darn. Dyan and Bubby

  Re: Today is the BIG day! Reply Contact dyan I am so happy for you and your DH. I know Bubblegum is smiling as she know what a wonderful mom and dad you guys are and she is so happy that you now have a new puppy to raise and take care of. I bet Bubby thinks this is the luckiest little pup in the world. Can`t wait to see the pictures.
