Goodbye Moosie Bear

We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Moosie Bear last week. He was such a good dog, never barked, never chewed on anything, and only had a few accidents. He was a good good dog. We had been talking for a while about getting rid of him. Beau didn't like the hair everywhere and we found it a bit of a burden to find places for him to go while we were on vacation. But every time he looked at me with those sweet sad little eyes, I couldn't go through with it. What finally made me make the final decision to let him go was the possibility that the girls skin problems could be getting worse because of him. I felt like we had to keep our house as allergen free as possible.

I put an add for him on Craigslist, and within a day we had 4 interested people. I think I cried from the day I put the add up until the day he left. A very nice family took him. They lost their beagle about 7 weeks ago to a tumor and when they saw Moose they new that he needed to be a part of their family. The drove 1.5 hrs to come get him and I bawled like a baby as I watched him leave. I admit I miss him. I don't miss sweeping up his hair or letting him out to go to the bathroom on cold mornings, but I miss him. Taryn had the hardest time with him leaving. She cried all the way to school and had a rough time at school. I know his new family is loving him a lot, but it still makes me sad.
