As many of you know, we recently added a dog to this chaos we call family.....well her stay with us has come to an end. Sunday, Aaron decided she needed to go back to the shelter...he didn't have the time to give her the attention she needed, and I with my four kids already, lacked the energy. Not to mention the financial burden that comes with owning a pet, and we had two! So, with Aaron deciding to be done with his dog, I guess I figured it wouldn't be fair for me to keep my cat....my beautiful, sweet kitty! Anyway, Monday I load the kids in the car, load the pets in the car and we take Liza to school. She gets out, and I can tell there is something wrong....I call her back and discover she is crying! Bawling really....my heart broke!! She was devastated that we were giving our pets away, she was so upset by it....so much more than I realized she would be.....it was so sad to see her so upset. I felt like the meanest mom in the world!!! We talked for a little bit and she finally was able to calm down enough that I felt comfortable leaving her at school.
So it has been quiet here at home without the dog and cat....I miss my cat the most!! But it will be so much better in the long run without the monthly expenses of food, litter, treats and toys. Someday, after a while......a long while, we will get another pet......but for the here and now it would not be a wise decision!

I think it was a good choice. My motto is: I don't need pets, I have kids! They're enough work as it is!
