Well I basically knew the ending but thought just maybe that playdate with him romping about would be a game changer, it certainly was good to see him playing, not aggressive at all. Also good to hear your laughter but as a dog owner, and as I have shared, it is a lot! The good thing is he will visit you, like a niece or nephew, and then you can return him. That's a win win!
Ali, As you know, I had Lola, for 13.5 years and she recently passed away. I am sorry that you did not have the right dog for you, but am happy that you even considered owning one. Maybe some day the right dog will show up for you and Michael and you will truly understand what a dog brings to one's life. I am actually thinking of getting another dog.
I'm sorry that I missed the chance to virtually meet Finley two weeks ago! He made quite the impact on you despite his short tenure in your life. And hopefully you'll run into him around town in the future!

the playdate was so close to being a game changer!

Beautifully written but just so sad!!!
Thank you Roxee! It was really tough to let him go but the good news is he found a new forever home already!!!!!

Perhaps there will be a dog in your future that will fit in your family perfectly. You will know... 💜🐶
I got pre-sad because I already knew the ending. But, having been “no kids no pets” my entire adult life, I’m with you on this one.
That's the way to do things: to be honest with oneself, and reflective. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Thank you Polly! For reading and your wise comment :)
I loooove this!
Good job loving Finley, and knowing yourself enough to make the right decision for all. Love you!
Thank you friend! Such a tough decision... he made me smile and laugh almost as much as you do!!
Heartwarming and Heartbreaking.
