I cried. I freely admit it. Tonight as we left Tilly with the family that will hopefully be her forever family, I cried. She was one of my "babies". Yes, I realize she is just a dog. Yes, I know that having one fewer dog in the house will help with less dirt intake. Yes, I know that having one fewer dog will be a big blessing if and when God allows us to have a baby. While my mind knows all of these things, my heart still hurt to give her away.

I will miss her loving manner. She was the "cuddler" of the group. I know that might not seem normal for a pit bull, but unfortunately some bad owners have caused the breed to have a bad rap. If you could meet her, you would see that she is so sweet and just wants to be loved.

We are glad that she has a family now. She'll have kids that are so excited to have a dog. I know she will be well cared for and they even told me I can come visit her. I will most likely need to do that just to know that she is okay. We've invested a lot of time and love into her and are very protective of her. I know that her new family will do the same.
