Today, we dropped Jose off at the vet for his teeth cleaning and extraction. It hurt us all. The little guy
thought he had landed in the shelter again. Our vet has a
number of dogs that he keeps at his office and Jose started
crying and shaking when he saw them. This really distressed Ted and I because Jose was doing so well. He
had gained a pound and a half and his fur was getting glossy and soft and he fits our family so well.

We get to pick him up at four. My heart broke for him this
morning because he was hungry and unhappy and I knew his
little mouth would be sore for awhile. It has just been
a month since we got him but he is so much fun and just
love personified.

Rex is a happier dog since he got a companion. I think
he acts about five years younger. Rex plays with toys
again.

Sometimes it is hard to be a good dog parent and do what
is in their best interest.
