Day 9 - Monday

I can not look into Tony's eyes because I will melt with doggie love! I need to be emotion free to make my decision - stay or go! This Monday has been very bad in many aspects of my life so as I sit at my dining room table I just let the tears fall. My head is cradled in my arms when I suddenly feel - doggies - I look up and realize that Molly has her head on my leg and Tony is staring up at me from under the table trying to nuzzle my hand. I know this is a sign from God - I've been praying for help through this whole adventure. So........ Tony and Molly and I do our evening walk and Tony went CRAZY at the little poodle across the street however he does not react to the door next door (a male Westie). Is it 'cuz he's on a leash? I am very concerned and sad. Did I do the right thing? Molly really seems to like his company! Could she be wrong too?

We got home from our sad little walk and my phone message light was blinking - it was the shelter! They must have ESP. I call back and express my feelings. They offer help and training.

I decide - I'm a bad home for Tony so I will take him back on Tuesday. I get the card for the shelter and check the hours ...... closed on Tuesday...... which means he stays with me until at least Thursday.
