Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Dear and Joyce, While my heart is very sad about not being able to take Mr. Beau, I can't think of a more loving home for him to go with than our 's house. Corb and I had several heart to heart talks about taking Mr. Beau and in the end I saw the wisdom of not adding a dog to our household right now. I think a lot of you remember me posting about having our little girls in private Christian school for five years. And while the school was absolutely terrific and the girls received a fantastic education, it was incredibly expensive. After much prayer and consideration, Corb and I decided to home school the girls. We're hoping to " see the light at the end of the tunnel " as far as our finances go sometime next year if I budget carefully and do a lot of planning. I was terribly worried that everyone here (GBIC) would think me heartless or uncaring because I was not able to take Mr. Beau for Joyce. Corb reassured me that you all don't " think that way " but I felt like I needed to explain why because you all have become like family and friends to me. I hope that someday we can have a puppy/dog because I grew up with two dogs (father and son) and loved them dearly. They were toy, apricot poodles and they lived very long and happy lives with us. God knows the desire(s) of my heart and His timing is perfect. God bless you Joyce and and Mr. Beau too. Love, Trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so hard to think with our heads and not our hearts. You are such a warm loving person. When you are ever ready for a dog, I know of many many Shar-Pei in rescue/foster that need loving, caring homes.

You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Trace you know that no one thinks badly of you I think I think more of you for being honest in the amount of care you could afford to give to a poodle I mean they need vet care and grooming so I understand . big hugs TN Mr. Beau, and Joyce > Dear and Joyce, > > While my heart is very sad about not being able to take Mr. Beau, I > can't think of a more loving home for him to go with than our 's house. > > Corb and I had several heart to heart talks about taking Mr. Beau and > in the end I saw the wisdom of not adding a dog to our household right now. > > I think a lot of you remember me posting about having our little girls > in private Christian school for five years.
