She was a stray, she'd recently had puppies and was very scared, shaking like a leaf when we met her at the shelter. Though Andrea isn't into having a flock of dogs, she was ready to make it work to spring her that day. We decided to wait till Bagel went to his new home that week and see how she was doing. I stopped back 2 days later and she was much better, giving me kisses and jumping up and down. I decided to see if she got adopted out of there before springing her. Why? Selfishness, I guess, I didn't want to deal with 4 dogs right away. I checked on her earlier this week, she was scared again but again I left her there. The shelter staff knew I'd take her if her time ran out. I didn't count on her going kennel crazy from being there too long. Yesterday she tried to attack 3 people with no provocation. They made the call, they put her down. I'll pull the next one the moment I see them. Maybe she would have done that at my house, maybe I knew that somewhere inside her something was already broken (what if she'd hurt me or one of my dogs?), maybe I was just too hopeful that she'd be placed out of there. I don't know but I'll never forget her, though in time, I may forgive myself for not springing her earlier this week, when we had the room. Rest in peace, sweet girl. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. |
