As you may remember I got Rico because his family had moved where pets were not allowed.  I got him last Sept. He was the sweetest, most loving little fella, EXCEPT he did not like men.  He nipped 3 of my neighbors, and also a lady that delivered meals on wheels. I knew I could not bring him with me ...however, my care giver fell in love with him, he with her...So I called the lady I had gotten him from , as she had never given me his papers.  Lo and behold, they are moving from their rental, and are buying a house...so if I agreed, she would take him back.  I felt this was the right solution.  Her little 5 year old daughter had grown up with Rico...I agreed to this, and the day before I moved the lady and her little girl came to get him.  He barked when the doorbell rang, but as soon as they spoke to him, he leaped into their arms.  I was happy, Rico was happy, and I felt although it broke my heart to part with him....it was the right thing to do....the people live close by and will bring him to visit...I can hardly wait!!!

 This is so sweet!  Rico got the REAL love from you, doing what was best for him 

I'm sure you will miss him, though!  So nice to be reading your posts again, love and hugs sent your way

I have to say that your Rico story is a heart tugger. Thanks for being such a compassionate person! Thanks for your note to me - I hope I can lead the way for my son to at least get out of HS and make a difference.
