God sure does work in wondrous and mysterious ways. The issue with Snickers was resolved! My husband on Friday said it was time to give her up. He thought about it awhile and was worried that she would attack our son. It may have been accidental but we didn't want to take the risk. My motto to help me get through this was: Pets are always replaceable...Our children are not. Our children's safety always comes first! I'm so glad that God impressed it upon my husband's heart to make the right decision. Yes. It was very difficult, sad, heart-breaking, and relieving to take her to our local shelter. I'm still getting teary eyed when I think about her and when I look at her pictures (which are still all around the house). But deep down inside my husband's heart and mine...we know we did the right thing. She will find a better home where she can get the full attention that she needs.
Over the weekend, our friends from Tehachapi came down. I was so pleased to have them here. They brought their two dogs (which helped keep Dudley distracted). It was wonderful to have their support and love. We don't get to see them often, so it's always a blessing when they are down. It also helped us keep our minds off losing Snickers. And now Dudley can live a happier life. He can have toys without worrying of being attacked. He also can get more love and attention. Plus, we're going to be saving money, energy, time, and cleaning that was for the dogs. I bought several toys for Dudley at the dollar store so I don't feel guilty if he shreds them up. He grabbed each one and put them into his bed. It's so cute to watch him with them.
Lord, thank You for answering my prayers! You Do work all for the good and in Your perfect timing. Thank You for changing my husband's heart and for giving him the understanding he needed to make the decision. May You continue to do Your work in our everyday lives. Guide us in Your ways. Thank You for helping us through our 'thorns' of life. Thank You for also blessing us with wonderful friends to be there no matter what may come our way. You truly are amazing! Amen
