Its been a week

The majority of you all know, that I no longer have Doodles.  Last weekend, I traveled to Tacoma to bring Doodles to his new home and family.  Back in Late August or begin of September, I was thinking about how Doodles affected my life.  It's hard being single, working long days, juggling personal and social life, and having a dog all at the same time.  When my parents visit, I don't feel like I get to spend quality time with them.  I feel that I have to juggle seeing them and my sister's family at the same time as taking care of Doodles.  A little background, Doodles gets extremely protected and jealous of Fin when I am around.  However, if my sister and Fin come over (with me not there), all is dandy.  The decision also came based off the thought that I want to be able to have freedom to go places and have a social life without having Doodles stop me.  In simple language, I was having a difficult time meeting Doodles needs.  His new owner is the lady that is a manager of a doggy daycare and training center.  She spent so much time with me trying to train Doodles.  Plus, Doodles absolutely loved her.

When we arrived in Tacoma and at the training center, Doodles ran straight to her.  He never looked back at me.  He also noticed the dogs who were still left from daycare.  Doodles is a pack dog, he needs to be around other dogs.  It was so nice to see him playing with the other dogs.  I know Doodles is in a great home and a better place.  Do I miss him?  Absolutely I do.  My hardest moments are at night when lying in bed or in the morning.  Periodically, I think about him during the day and wonder what he is up to.  I do know that he is probably loving doggy daycare!

So for now, Its just me.  I'm able to spend time with family that I have in ID (my sister's family), go to the gym after work (when I go!), and spend time with whatever I have going on.
