Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks Cheryl, I 'm really disappointed that I couldn't have Lizzie......but I had to think of her first. C. LIZZIE AhAAh , I’m sorry about that. I get so much joy out of my dog. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t put him in a fenced back yard. Like you say, we don’t always feel well enough to walk our pets. From: Carey Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 10:28 AMTo: LUPIES Subject: TO JULIE-ANNE / LIZZIE Dear -Anne, This is one of the hardest things I've had to write, but not totally enexpected. I spoke to my Apt. Manager this morning about the Pet deposit for Lizzie. It seems that there has been a change in policy since I spoke to them a few months ago about being able to pay the pet deposit in installments. The Apt. complex is under a new Management Company, and the pet deposit has to be paid in full before You can have a pet. The same people work in the office....so I didn't realize there had been any changes. I was also reminded that My lease is up for renewal in a couple of months.....and there is going to be an increase in my monthly rent. So there is just no way I will be able to take Lizzie, as I am on a fixed income.(SSD). And really .....the more I think about it without stars in my eyes.....I realize that I would not be able to give Lizzie as good a life as she now has with you.....I do not have a yard for her to play in.....I would have to take her out on a leash when she needed to go out, and although I have been doing well lately, I know that I would not always be up to it. This was brought home to me just yesterday when I poked my head outside on my patio, and the heat and humidity hit me and I almost passed out!......Then there is the fact that living with Lupus we never know when `The Wolf ' is going to take a bite out of us unexpectedly.......Just a few months ago, I went to my doctor because of swollen ,and painful feet and a tight feeling in my chest ......and wound up in the Hospital for 3 days while they ran all kinds of tests.....they thought I was having a heart attack! It turns out that I was fine, but the point is that If I had had a dog, it would have been alone for 3 days. I don't have anyone to help me with a dog, and I would not take Lizzie unless I was absolutely positive that I could give her a good life. I know how much you love her and would worry about her......you saved this puppie's life and rocked her and sang to her when she was so terribly ill........and I know how much of a sacrifice it would be to give her to me."The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
