When I got married and moved out to GA, I left my beautiful pup (pictured in my profile pic) with my sister.
Today's his 8th birthday (he was born 4/4/04). He's special.

My sister posted a "happy birthday" post for him on her blog, and reading it made me really sad.

I'm sad I left him. I'm sad I don't think about him every day like I did before LO was born. I'm sad that I didn't hold him much at all the last time I was in CA because he sheds and I didn't want the hair to get on me and my LO.

I never thought I'd leave and give my furbaby away. Sad times.
I think I'd feel worse if he were living here with me and I couldn't give him the attention he desires/needs though.
