Whatever you choose, I know it will be the right choice for you.<br /><br />When we chose to adopt our dog a few years ago, we found an older dog who had been abandoned and transported to a nearby no-kill shelter. When my son saw him, it was as if he and the dog said, "Ah, there you are!" This was the right choice for us. And this dog has filled our hearts and home with joy.<br /><br />Follow your heart.<br />:0)angela recadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171018304392191669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-7872958970928088882009-09-27T21:02:53.292-04:002009-09-27T21:02:53.292-04:00Julie, this was such an insightful post!

I have to tell myself that even the choices that I would say have been bad choices I have to let them go. I trust that the Lord watches me and takes things and turns them around. I can't live with a whole life of regrets and I am facing one of the biggest choices of my life...to be healthy. Now I must make the choices to take care of myself. Thanks for the reminder. you are a sweetie!Nana Trish is Living the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401202649082669911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-59781263312909131322009-09-27T17:45:56.038-04:002009-09-27T17:45:56.038-04:00I'm still battling with the "another dog&...I'm still battling with the "another dog" decision.

For a while it was hard to make any choice at all, since I wanted so hard to make sure it was a good one. Then I realized that I couldn't let my fears paralyze me...I just had to start walking in the direction that seemed right. <br /><br />Take the time you need to grieve over Presley, then you'll be able to move on peaceful about your new choices.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-64418178659487363232009-09-27T11:17:15.068-04:002009-09-27T11:17:15.068-04:00Julie- listen to your heart.

I have just made a BIG choice myself. I'm leaving my husband at home to work, and heading out to ID where my pregnant daughter is to provide 'support' for the next several months. It was a feeling that wouldn't go away, so finally I just decided I had to go no matter what. <br />I was sorry to read about Presley - they are such family members, you will know when it's time to get a new dog... you will see one, or meet one and voila!

We lost our last dog thirteen years ago and still I can't bring myself to get another. At times I want one and miss my old ones so much. (We had four German Shepherds close in age and lost them all in only a couple of year's time) But then I remember the pain of having to let go and I still want to hide from that. I suppose you will know when/if the time is right for you.Katiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703557560000189704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-47296959591010758752009-09-26T23:49:50.974-04:002009-09-26T23:49:50.974-04:00julie...this was wonderful !

Decide whether you are up to cleaning puppy mess or whether you would rather give an older dog a second chance in life. Take your time.
