A Bitter Sweet Goodbye




We have been deciding for a few months now if we should give away our second dog Wrigley. It's gotten to a point since Caylee's been born that it's just gotten difficult for me to take care of the two girls and the two dogs. I take the blame, but it's hard for me to take him on walks everyday, he sheds a lot so it's a ton of maintenance, and he need way more attention than I can give. If I have an extra 5 min, I'm going to take a shower not hold Wrigley. So we really wanted to find him a good home, someone who we know would give him what we couldn't. We found a great new owner. She is a single retired woman and she is really sweet. She's going to take him on lots of walks and will spend lots of time with him. He is also going to get to see my parent's dog Syrah a lot.

Some of my best memories with Wrigley are:
-Taking him camping and hiking. He was in his element.
-He was a great guard dog for me when Ben started on call
-He got me back into running 3 years ago
-He has kept me in shape
-He was so tiny when we picked him up at LAX
-When he ate my whole kitchen one day while I was at work (not all good memories)
-The way he used to guard Courtney as a baby, if anyone came to visit he didn't leave her side
-Snuggling with him on the couch.
-As a puppy he would sit in his bowl when he wanted to eat
