I’m getting exactly what I don’t want.

Published April 7, 2007 by Morgan Nichol | Comments (5)

So most people already know that Claire and I separated.  I’ve got a new place, I’ve moved most of my stuff over there already, Claire has a new place too.

The only person who doesn’t have a new place is George.  I’m trying to find someone wonderful and lovely to take care of him and make him happy, but it’s not easy.  People are idiots.  He’s been on trademe for a little while, and we’ve had enquiries…  But nothing has quite worked out.

Giving up George is breaking my heart.  I was sobbing on my way back here from the new place.

I’m still crying now.

He’s such a cool little guy.  I can’t stand to give him up.  I want to find a way to keep him, find a place that doesn’t completely suck, and won’t bankrupt me, so I can keep coming home every day to his happy bouncing and wagging tail.

But there’s no way.

If you know someone lovely with a full fenced section who is looking for a dog (ideally a second dog) please let me know.  I still don’t want to give him up, but if I have to I want it to be to someone I can trust.

Now I’m going to go and cuddle with him in bed, and he doesn’t know it’s the last time I’ll be able to.  But I do.

God damn it.

    wow, morgan – nothing like airing dirty laundry publicly! at least i hope your readers realise there’s two sides to every story. if i was you, i’d think about editing the nasty out and just leaving the nice post about the dog, but i bet you’re going to be contrary about it and leave your snark public. charming.

    You have editorial control over your own site, not mine. Thanks for the advice though. When I\’m less upset, I\’ll reconsider.

    Amanda, you still don\’t have editorial control of my site, but in this case I think you\’re right. My misery is purely over George, and it has nothing to do with anything that happened between me and Claire.

    I wish we had a happy home for George! I can’t think of anyone who does though. :-(

    Poor George! This breaks my heart.

    I hope he finds a happy new home.
