Letting go of a pet

Franchesca

I rehomed my dog this weekend. I can't help but be incredibly sad. I'm a single mom and knew It was becoming too much for me. I had him for 4 years and I really struggled with if I should let him go with a family who had more time. And ultimately knew it was best for him, but heartbreaking for me. I didn't realize now that he's gone I would literally feel like I lost a family member or someone is missing. It's been a sad weekend. I know the family he's with. They are good friends of mine but he is a few states away. Have any of you experienced this and how did you cope. As you can see my daughter loves him and so do I.
