Good-Bye Friend

Last Saturday, we took Buzz to the Humane Society to give him a chance for a better home. Jarel and I have talked about this for quite sometime as to weather we should take him in or keep him. I felt so bad for him. He lived outside or in our garage, the kids really didn't play with him (unless you count Tyler kicking him or throwing stuff at him, playing!) He would play attack the kids when they were outside and they didn't like going outside if Buzz was out. So when the kids went outside, we had to find Buzz and put him in the garage. He would get Hailey all the time, and she didn't like that at all. She was afraid of Buzz. And Buzz was so matted, but he would not let us brush him or cut his hair at all. We would try, but he would bite and always get away from us. So I felt it would be best to give him away. I tried putting him on KSL in hopes someone might want him, but no such luck. I even thought about the animal shelter, but I knew he would be put down in a couple of days of dropping him off...so I felt good about giving him to the Humane Society for a small fee. We then talked about this as a family, the kids were sad but I asked the kids if they would like spending their life in a garage and not being played with. They all said "No." We agreed we needed to take him. So Saturday came, we packed Buzz up and off we went. When he got to his "new home" and Jarel took him in, Makena got really emotional and was sad to see him leave. Then Kali started crying because Makena was. It was heartbreaking as a mom, but I really didn't know what else to do. I really felt bad for Buzz. I guess we are just not pet people over here. Maybe when the kids are older?!?! 

Anyway, Buzz is gone and off to a better family for him. It was a fun year having him around...and I have to admit the days after whenever I opened the garage door, I was expecting Buzz to come out and you kind of missed seeing him...but all is right here!
