Poodie's Problem

  • Mood: Depressed
A long time ago, we had a good friend named Virginia. She was everyone's Grandma, always there, always optimistic. After her husband Ken died, she got a little purebred Poodle named Poodie to keep her company. Poodie stuck with Virginia through thick and thin, going everywhere nwith her,  always ready to greet visitors. When Virginia passed away, one of her daughters inherited the dog.

Now that same daughter has terminal cancer and is no longer able to care for the little dog. Poodie needs a new home. The announcement was made in church today and I started crying because I couldn't help.

Why? Why is this happening? Why, just when I think I can make it without a dog, something comes up to stab me in the chest? What is wrong with me? I thought of Poodie before I thought of the daughter nd her family, for crying out loud! Am I crazy? Have I finally lost it? Why do I think every stray is my responsibility? Am I that racked with guilt over Annie?

I wish I could take her. Poodie's a sweet little dog who loves everyone and she doesn't even shed. But there's no money to care for her.

I wish I had stayed home. The old saying is right; ignorance is, indeed, bliss.
