With the amount of trolls on PimD I know I'm asking for trouble making this thread but it's 5am and I'm depressed because today I am giving up my cats Harlequin and Mistah J. Harley Mistah J I called the Humane Society back in September asking to be put on the waiting list to relinquish them as I was applying for a job position across the country, and they called me yesterday letting me know they had room. I am trying to spare the cats the stress of moving in a car (which they dislike even if I'm going around the corner to the vet) from the northeastern US to the southwestern US. I also will be receiving training and then moving once again 6mo after, which would stress them out further and as it's physically exhausting work I can't guarantee how much time I could give them. On top of this I may be required to stay on a base for 6mo wherein I don't know where they'd go. At this point I am finishing the pre-employment application for the position and although I don't know if I will pass everything, I figure this is my only chance to give them away if I have to move soon. On top of this, there is a serious chance I will also have to get rid of Loki as I can't imagine trying to put him through the same amount of stress that I'm trying to spare the cats. I have some more time with him though as I have been speaking to his breeder and have worked out that in the case that I accept this job I may contact him again. I don't know what to feel right now. I don't care what you guys say or if no one says anything, it's nice that I got to vent this out and not in a public forum where people I know will see it. I'm gonna go cry now.
Aww jihiI'm sorry about that. I have a dog and I dunno what I would do if I would be in your position. I think the only thing that helps a little bit is to give you hug
It's hard to make a decision like this, especially since pets really can become part of the family. But you should do what's best for both them and yourself Jihi, even though sometimes that may be hard. It's healthy to vent and talk to others, and normal to feel conflict over such an issue. I hope you make the best decision for you. Saying this, I'm not sure how I could ever be separated from my bunbun ....
I couldn't leave my dog Good thing he loves travailing I took him around AUS with me and he LOVED it
I'm sorry Jihi. Loki is cute I'm not really sure what I could say to help, so I'll just send best wishes for you and your little furry friends <3
Aw. Sorry for your loss Jihi. On a brighter side, I have the same parquet floor as you! And naming your cats after Batman characters...
I've read a story.. About this girl.. She had to move away because her dad had found a new job. Her parents told her that she could not bring her pets and.. Well
I'm sorry,Jihi. I hope you'll not get too upset. Always remember that wherever they may be in the near future,they could be alive because you brought them up,you fed them and you cared for them. Their lives were different because of you and they will always love and remember you. So don't forget them,I'm sure you'll meet them again someday if you have affinity,which I'm sure you have. I hope you will lead a good life. Best wishes. Tiffany
Jihi, I feel for you. The bond you share with your pets are very strong. Very very very strong indeed. It's sad once you get the news of getting rid of something precious. I went ballastic. ._. But... All good things come to an end. ;n; Olivia's a mod! -hypervenilates- CONGRATULATIONS!
Really sorry Jihi. My old dog hated cars. The humane society wouldn't take her so my dad -starts crying- shot her. But you still have Loki! Hug him/her and loveffle it.
