Tough Decisions

Yesterday we had to give our two huskies to the no kill humane society. This was such a painful decision to make. And I feel so very guilty. Our reason was the fact that yesterday the dogs killed my beloved cat Timmy. Timmy snuck out of the house and jumped the fence to the backyard. I have two more cats, I need to protect them as I falied Timmy. I am devestaed by the loss of my beautiful Timmy and for having to give up the huskes, Bee and Em.

We only had Bee and Em for two months. We adopted them from an old sled dog musher who said if the couldn't find homes for them, he was going to have the put down. I couldn't stand the thought of not helping. We brought them home and I fell in love immediately. 3 days laters Em gave birth. We didn't know she was pregnant. Emm was a great mom and took excellent care of her puppies. We just recently started to find homes for them.
I really loved Bee and Em and we gave them up yesterday. I couldn't trust them anymore, not after what happened to Timmy. But I feel like such a horrible person. I have never once given up a pet. I have always rescued them. I can't stop crying over the loss of Timmy and the loss of Bee and Em.

In my heart, I know that givig them up was the right thing to do. But it hurts so much. And I know the humane society will find good homes for them. But I feel so bad, like I have betrayed them.

We have decide to keep two of Em's puppies. We are going to hopefully train them to be nice to the cats. But they will never ever be left alone with the cats and I am now going to be a bit pshycho about making sure the cats don't go outside.

I can't stop crying. I am so very sorry Em and Bee.

I too am very sorry. Losing your beloved cat in such a way must be so very hard. Please don't feel bad for giving up your two dogs, you did what you had to do and I know they will find a good home. Take it easy. Be gentle with yourself.
