I don’t want to post this on my blog, but I feel that I owe it to the few people that read my ramblings.
Stella found a new home.
I know—shocking. And sad. I cried. Molly cried. It was so very sad. Stella was a perfect puppy. She did all the puppy things and was the absolute cutest thing ever.
But Rolo was not ok. She did not like Stella. I know we could have endured longer to see if she would warm up to Stella. But I just wasn’t willing to carry on like that. And now that Stella is in a different family, our Rolo is back to normal! It’s actually crazy how subdued and depressed she was.
But don’t worry, Stella is with the sweetest family in Tennessee. She likely hasn’t even had her leash on since she left us. They have land. They have another dog who already loves her and plays with her and lets her sleep nearby!!!! I mean—it’s so precious.
I suppose all’s well that ends well?? But this was a very hard decision for me. I grappled with it so bad. And it’s taken a few days to feel ok about it. But seeing how the timing of us realizing this wasn’t working and Molly sharing it with her college room mate on the phone and them expressing interest. Then realizing they just happened to be traveling from the NC coast to their home in Tennessee and therefore coming near Charlotte the very next morning—-it just was as perfect as you can imagine.
I won’t be expounding any more about this on the blog. It’s just too depressing. But looking back, I suppose my situation was probably a textbook case of identity crisis as the house was about to be empty of all of our kids. Live and learn.
As for now, I’ll be making no major decisions for the next year. Just gonna take each day as it comes and enjoy peace and quiet and cleanliness in this next season of life.
We love you, Stella! Enjoy your country, leash-less life with your big sister who actually loves you!
