The Best Husband

I can honestly say that I have the best husband in the world.  He puts up with my crazyness and understand my thinking even when I can't put it into words.  He helps me with everything and I honestly don't know what I would do without.



Recently my family dog, Max, passed away.  Just like the last post had stated. I hadn't cried yet on that Thursday when I got the news.  I didn't feel the need to, I knew it was coming I just didn't know when it would happen.
Thursday morning I got the news.
Thursday night I was looking at other dogs.  (Now remember Max lived with my parents)
Friday I put a deposit down for a puppy and brought him home.

I believe that it all happened because I lost Max and I didn't know how to cope with it.
Well I brought him home on Friday, without Robert knowing.  Robert came home from doing his show and SURPRISE!!! There was another puppy and on top of that I was puppy sitting my brother's dog.  So there were three little ones in my house.

I started to realize little by little that I didn't have the ability to take care of an extra little one.  Ari was enough and I could wait till we had a house and room to move to get another dog.  The weekend was an adventure.  Keeping the little ones from bugging Ari too much and cleaning up lots of pee and poop.
I did learn that I will never have three puppies at once of my own.

Finally had the time to sit down and actually talk to Robert about the new puppy and see what we needed and wanted to do.  That's when the little puppy got too close to Ari while she was sleeping.  And Ari got him, now Ari is a friendly dog! She loves to play with other dogs, this was first and the last.  Right then I knew what we needed to do to keep both dogs safe and happy.
I put him up on KSL and now he has a new family coming to get him tonight at 6:30pm.

Breaks my heart already to see him go, but I know that it's for the better.  For the sanity of my husband and the happiness and health of Ari and him.
I will love him forever, even though I only had him for three days.
I hope he enjoys his new family and the life in Heber! I will miss that little love bug....


But my lesson is learned, sadly it had to be the hard way.  I will not buy a puppy because I lost one.  I will not buy a puppy because I think it will be nice for mine to have a friend.  I will not buy a puppy just to buy a puppy.  They deserve better than that.  They deserve someone that can seriously take care of them and love them!

I will only buy a puppy when I have the room, time, money, and ability to care for them!
Dogs don't deserve to be in a shelter,  they deserve a home with love and a wonderful family.



But after that story.  Now I need to tell you why I have the best husband!  He didn't tell me to get rid of him.  He loved that little one.  He helped me take care of the three puppies over the weekend.  He comforted me as I realized that I made a mistake by getting another puppy.  He joked with me and made me feel good.  He helped with the gagger poops that I couldn't handle. He keeps me sane, and when I actually talk to him about things, he talks me out of those bad ideas.
And now today,  he is going with me to meet the little one's new family.  Then he is taking me for ice cream cause he knows and I know that I will cry when he leaves my arms and goes home with the other family.
He takes care of me and even though I make crazy decisions.... without him knowing. He loves me still and forgives me for my weaknesses.  He is the best husband I could ask for, and I so grateful to be able to be with him for all eternity.
