Oh Candi, my heart goes out to you and what you had to go through. It really is heart breaking and then not to be able to get one of your babies back when you were able. That is simply horrid.
Glad you are now in better shape and have new babies. That has got to give you a lot of comfort. Hugs to you and pets to the furbabies. mj and benjigirl ________________________________ From: Candi Gerlich <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, December 5, 2010 6:21:03 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] I am ashamed but I have to share this story with you all Nancy! I am so happy your baby is ok... I totally understand where you are coming form. I too used to judge people on how they treated or handled situations with their pets, until I had and experience where I was put in possition to do something I never thought I would. I used to be highly involved with rescue for min pins. a couple years ago I went through a horrible divorce and was forced to give up my babies to a rescue. I did try and ask the rescue for long term boarding/fostering with some sort of financial support but no one was interested. I was in a jam, I had no where to go with my pups and I was in no shape to care for them approprietly. I ended up relinquishing 5 of my dogs and 5 of my cats. I was heartbroken, ashamed and devastated. Concidering I have spent my adult life condeming those where I felt there were "other options" I was in a possition where I exhausted "my other options". a year later one of my dogs was still up for adoption and I asked to be reconcidered that I would pay the fee that I was in a stable environment and could handle my pet again. I was sent a nasty email of how no good I was and I was deleted from the group list that I was a member from. It hurt me as I had no other options... So I feel your pain. My life is my animals and I would do anything I could for them. Sometimes things juts happen out of our control. I am a much more humbled person for it. I love my babies with all my heart, my soul, and I think about my babies I had to give up everyday of my life..
