But it's usually not that way. The best we can do is follow our hearts and conscience. Your mother is a kind person who, like you, understands these difficult conundrums. When I went thru menopause something happened to me--I had to stop for every stray dog I came across. But the blessings in my life have been immeasurable. I'm so glad you did what you did. xoxo, AllegraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-30584158083654442912013-01-13T14:35:14.546-06:002013-01-13T14:35:14.546-06:00Nita, you are such a responsible and caring person...Nita, you are such a responsible and caring person, both for your Mom and Pedro.

And after reading that I was sure of one thing.... you have a great heart! I saw that story as not a person putting a dog over their mother but a good daughter still being a guardian angel to a helpless creature.<br />You know your heart, and your mom and Pedro know your heart and more importantly God knows your heart. <br />I would suggest that the poor nurse put a stethoscope up to hers and give it a good check....but that would be ugly and then I would feel guilty about it later... so I won't say that. <br />Have a great weekend... you deserve it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-49888678108561169462013-01-12T00:37:52.415-06:002013-01-12T00:37:52.415-06:00What was wrong with that nurse.

That is a no brainer. If my daughter made that choice I would be proud of her just like I am proud of you. I am glad to read he has a great home.<br />Hope your mom is doing well.<br />TraciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560321164399562479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-61758016728263035232013-01-11T22:52:36.581-06:002013-01-11T22:52:36.581-06:00I can just see guardian angels taking Pedro to you...I can just see guardian angels taking Pedro to your door. they knew who would help him.

You were in no danger of missing your mum going to surgery so you had lots of time. I agree with Urban Cottage. Perhaps someone who sees how you love your dogs left him as they couldn;t care for him. A lot of people struggle with the cost of pets now with loss of jobs and houses. Otherwise they would surely be looking for him.<br /><br />You're a good person.
