I’m so sorry your going through this. Even though Pam’s email was positive and reassuring it still brought a flood of tears to my eyes. All this must be very hard for you.

How are you holding up with your decision? Now that Angel is in her new home and things are settled do you feel you still made the right decision?

How many people live with Pam? It sounds like Angel has plenty of fur companions but how about enough people to give her pets, belly rubs & scratches?

My thoughts are with you.

I am ok, although everytime I get a new email I end up in tears as it's the only connection I have. I feel I have made the right decision as far as my situation. Ruby and Luka seem very calm and I have found that I am able to enjoy them, the feeling of being overwhelmed has gone, although I miss Angel very much. I am not sure if Pam is married or has children, as she didn't mention a husband or family I felt it rude to ask.

That is a good sign for you, as it seems you have had a lot going on. We surely understand, and don't worry about the posts. Next week, it will be one of us with an issue. No one seems to understand like the BW gang.

Thank you so much for sharing Pam's email with us - I agree, it was very detailed, and I'm sure she realizes how important it is to you to know as much as possible about Angel's transition. I think you know that we are here for you, and share your concern about Angel being in a good place, and being loved and cared for. No one can ever replace you, your love and the home you provided for her. It will just take time, and it sounds as if she's starting to fit herself in with Pam's dogs and her new environment. A good thing for you is that you don't feel overwhelmed anymore, and have the time and energy to give to Ruby and Luka - they are probably feeling the effects of the change in you, too. Hang in there - I do have to say again that you are a very courageous and selfless person, and how I admire you for doing what you did for Angel.

The truth is we will never truly believe anyone else can care for our babies as well as we can, but this lady obviously truly loves Boxers, & it sounds like she has a wonderful set up for them to all live happily.

It sounds like Angel has LOTS of fur friends to keep her happy.

I'd say alot of your worries stems from guilt, stop beating yourself up & just take pride in the fact that you did the right thing (the responsible thing) for Angel, Luka, Ruby, & yourself.

Louise, I would not worry too much about Angel being outside. It sounds like she brings them in at night which I would imagine would be the only time mine would like to be in if they had a choice. It sound slike she is adjusting well and each day will get better. Don't beat yourself up. You did what was best for all the babies and you. Hope each day gets a little better. You did the right thing.

Louise, I know that this was a difficult decision for you to make, and just wanted to let you know that I support you 100%.. If she had to be rehomed, you couldn't have wished for a better place. Hugs ~ Cathy

Louise, so sorry that I'm just catching up to this thread now...I wish I could have offered my support sooner. I wanted you to know that I think you've done what is best for you and all your fur-babies...Angel especially. This was a very difficult and SELFLESS act that surely was not easy for you to do. I admire your sense of responsibility and I just know that Angel will be very happy in her new home. Please don't beat yourself up for this. Angel is in a good place and you made sure of that. ((((HUGS)))) to you from me, Xena & Spirit.

Here is another update from Pam. I think I feel reassured that my Angel is happy. I still feel so sad and tearful when I think of her but I know now that she has her new home -

Hi Louise

Her heart score was 1, which is fine. She was much more relaxed in the car
at the weekend, she just curled up with Lana and the pup and slept most of
the way.

She is I think more of a "doggy" dog than a "people" dog, as she is in her
element with my others. She has slotted in well, and is not at all subdued
or submissive. She always makes a fuss of me, but never stays long as she
is too keen to go off and play. She eats very well indeed and will not let
any of the other dogs near her dish - she holds her own very well indeed.
She isn't very interested in balls etc, when I throw them she just watches
them go!! She will sometimes tug on a rubber ring for a few seconds, but
really she generally just wants to be with the others. I think Lana is her
special friend, but she has assumed a higher place in the gang than Lana
and is the leader of the two. Where she goes, Lana follows.

She joins in the general rush for treats and biscuits, and usually manages
to get the first one somehow.

It seems as if she has always been here really - she is just one of the gang.
I haven't let her off the lead when she goes for walks because she does
love to run, and I am worried she may not come back yet - although I think
she probably will as she usually comes when she is called. She gets a lot
of exercise tearing round the garden though. I will email you some photos
during the next few weeks - if she stays still long enough.

I feel as though she really has gone now, bless her little heart.

That is a great update from Pam. Seems like she is fitting in so well with Pam's other boxers. She's eating well and playing. I'm sure the others made the transition much easier for her.
