I always try to live by the philosophy that everything happens for a reason, but it is hard to fathom a reason in this situation. I love my dog like my child also and I can only imagine how frustrating this can be. I spent 3 months in Costa Rica back in 1993, but I'm sure it has changed much since then.
Yeah, i try to live that way too.. and the only conclusion i can come up with is the universe is testing us to see what i do in hard decisions.. we refuse to give up on oir dreams and we refuse to give up our dogs! So i feel pushing thru ALL of these issues is the most important part of all!
Very well said! If this is a test then I feel you definitely passed with flying colors. I tell my wife during hard times that I know everything happens for a reason, but it would be easier to know the "why" so I can learn the lesson and move on! lol
Lol, right!! Or maybe an easier lesson! Haha
Its funny though, sometimes once u learn the lesson and look back on how everything unfolded, it seems like it shouldve been so obvious.
