Gotta Toughen Up!

A friend of mine used the term "heart armor" when I told her I was taking the rescue job. My armor needs some work - one of my favorite dogs is being adopted and I am so sad about it!
He came home with me for a few nights and we both completely fell in love with the one-eyed Shih-Tzu pooch. What a snuggly, cuddly ball of fluff! I've never been much for the smaller dogs (I always thought they were kind of wussified) but this little guy made me think differently. What personality! He loves being around people! He never barked, he didn't chase the cats around (I think he was a little scared of the them) and he cuddled whenever he could with both of us - naps with us on the couch and he took over the middle of the bed at night!
It's a good thing that he's going to have a forever home, I know, but I am going to miss him! We both missed him the day after he left the house after a visit! I'm happy we were able to spoil him with lots of hugs and kisses... hopefully his new owner will do the same!
