daww thanks. you are more than welcome to steal it. i got inspiration from sylvia ji. incredible artist. really would love to have a piece or two hanging in my house (when we eventually buy one)!
Awww, I didn't know Samson got a new home. =,( (I just saw something about it on your page) But like you said, it was for his own happiness. That's love!
Havoc's last years, I felt, were misserable. I felt so bad for him. None of us had enough time for him. Niko and I were allergic. He over powered Natasha so she couldn't even take him for walks. Blah blah blah. I tried to talk my family into giving him to someone who would take better care of him, and play with him more. Maybe even a house with rugs and a fenced in yard. (our wood floors were not good for a big dog like him) *sigh* poor guy. They just thought I didn't want him or was being selfish. I lived those last few years in constant guilt and sorrow for him. *sniff*
Awww {{{HUGS}}}. Didn't mean to make you cry. It's not easy giving up an animal, no matter the reason. I've had to do that on a few occassions, and I swore I'd never do it again. Which is why I think I have so many now! Well besides the fact that most of my babies are rescues or former strays, I can't say no. If I had the money I'd run my own shelter, but wouldn't be able to give them away!
Hope all goes well with the dermatologist tomorrow. And sorry to hear about Samson. He's a Yorkie, right? I know ours (Cujo) has never forgiven us for bringing the puppy (a now 2 yr old Lab/Husky) Vader home. He's 11 and very set in his ways. He never really liked having other dogs around after our Chihuahua, Juanito passed away. Those two were thick as thieves! But I know Cujo would prefer to have the cats all to himself! Glad Benjamin is liking his new place. Moving can be a bit iffy for pets, but just from reading your journal and Twitter, I have no doubt he's in good hands .
