She has obviously been loved and well cared for her whole life. There are so many homeless puppies out there. You have given her a good life so feel good about that. I know it will be hard still, but know in your heart that you gave her a good life, ok?

You are very fortunate
I am too! I have a great hubby also but for different reasons. Ain't love grand!!!
Yes, so fortunate
Eventually my husband and I want to move to a smaller house, but I can't bear to leave the neighborhood! It's wonderful to have supportive friends so close by. We all laugh about how nobody dares to move.
Thank God your son is okay! My prayers for those not so fortunate. nm

We are also fortunate here in our area...
we have a small (1500 sf) home, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, will be remodeling the bath and kitchen in the next year and adding 2 rooms upstairs. We live on 15 acres, have a 4-stall horse barn, a shop, a beautiful view, live in the country, mortgage is only 1100 a month and property taxes are less than 1000 a year. My dh only paid 185,000 for the place and it is now appraised at over 350,000. Used to live in California, so know the whole story about home prices there. We have Californians who migrate here and buy houses sometimes just by seeing a picture on the internet, never even come up to look at it in person.
You've been very fortunate...sm
You've been kind, taken care of folks and like you said, Karma (what goes around comes around).  Cat

Your grandmom was very fortunate to have you too! (sm)
how many grandchildren would live with their grandparent through college and still talk about them with so much love years later? That is so sweet and wonderful that you both had such a good relationship with each other!
Guess I'm fortunate
My husband is such a fantastic cook that we rarely go out for dinner. My birthday was last week and he gave me a choice of any restaurant I wanted to eat to celebrate. I thought about it for a couple of days, then just asked him if he could make his grilled rib steaks, shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta, and mixed green salad at home. It cost about a third of what getting a similar meal at a restaurant would have cost, and I swear it tasted better.
I don't grab fast food for lunch anymore...I usually heat up whatever we have left over from the dinner he's cooked the night before, so I guess it costs me $0 to eat lunch.
I don't ever want to go back to the value menu cuisine I ate before I met my husband, lol!!!
Fortunate ours are picky in this case....sm
Our cats won't eat anything but Little Friskies and Fancy Feast, and Meow Mix dry food, so thank goodness for that. Our dogs have eaten Mighty Dog, which is on the list, so I am a little concerned.
We were fortunate enough to receive one for coal...sm
Considering the high cost of heating oil, natural gas, and kerosene, we're very grateful...Thanks, Santa. Cat
Yeah, I hate that. I am fortunate to have - sm
a great eye doctor, no long waits either. He is very thorough and recently saw a spot on my daughter's retina. She had cancer almost 4 years ago now and anything out of the ordinary must be checked. We went back in for a repeat retinal scan and found it unchanged, diagnosed as a freckle, though he will continue to follow it to be on the safe side. He did a full exam on her though we were only to get the scan done, and only charged us for the scan. He is a good eye doctor in all respects. My neighbor recommended him to me after I complained that I had been bouncing from place to place for about 8 years trying to find someone I was happy with (newish to area), and did not blind me when dilating my eyes. He has a retinal scan machine and no need to dilate eyes, which is great as it takes me 12-18 hours for my eyes to get back to normal, hard to drive let alone work. My doctor does use dilute solution if you request it, and uses it in the summer for all so you are not so blinded in the sun. But I'd look for a smaller office, less patients, no chains, and one that has a retinal scan machine. Good luck.
consider yourself blessed/fortunate/lucky sm
went in with the best intentions, tried as hard as I possibly could, 15 yrs and 4 marriage counselors and countless tears later, I am posting the message below
Some of us are fortunate enough to NOT be cold-hearted shrews!
who care only for themselves and nobody else. We care deeply about our loved ones and it is extremely difficult to turn them out, even if it is the right thing and only thing left to do! It's not about backbone, lady! Where's your compassion? This is painful for her. She is watching her father sink further and further into mental illness and she feels helpless. She wants to fix him, take care of him, and make him better, but she is realizing she can't. That's a painful realization -- the realization that no matter how much you love them, no matter how much you try to help, it will never be enough, you will never succeed, and the only thing left to do is save yourself.
Curious Girl, will eventually do what she needs to do, but doing what is right can be just as painful as something that is wrong. What she needs are shoulders to cry on and people around her to tell her she's a good person NOT criticize her and tell her she needs to grow a backbone!
