Saying Goodbye to Dallas

[NH Homesteader]

I love it, please update us when you hear news about her. I've loved following her story. This is perfect for her, she was made for this! You should be proud of what you did for her, you never gave up and now so many people are going to have joy because of her! Ah I love this so much!

Ya'll are all right. But, I swear I'm still crying over that gal. Been teary all day But I know why she fought so hard. Like ya'll said - she was born for this - it was her destiny and she will be awesome at her job!

I tried to talk "T" out of her. I told her that Dallas would get much bigger than the pygmy. She said there are times that she needs a sturdy animal. I told her that she'd been ill. She said that her patients have been ill - they would understand. I told her that I think Dallas has a vision impairment. She said her blind clients would identify with her. She had the perfect answer to every concern I had.

We went through so much. I'm not even sure I shared everything. There were two instances where I was prepared to put her down. There were two days where I fed her with a syringe because she had lost the ability to suckle. But - every single time she made the decision to live. And now I know why.

I couldn't accept money for her - it would have been like selling one of my children. I made T promise to send pics. I've already texted with her tonight and she says her daughter, who is physically challenged, has been sitting with Dallas all day and that they both are loving the attention from each other.

Ok - gotta go blow my nose again...

And that, my friends, is why we pull out all the stops, doing every thing we can do to save the life of the ones that seem to be dying. Sometimes we lose, we cry and we bury a baby that never had a chance, but we had to try. Sometimes we win. And when we win, it is the sweetest win, it is the win that makes us smile, laugh and be glad for all the lack of sleep, all the worry, all the love we have for the least little creature.

Go Dallas. Go spread the gift of your love to those who need it most.

Hugs to you and Dallas. She will be given extremely good care and loved on and by so, so many who need her gentle manner.

GREAT JOB !! May be one of the "best" placements ever.
