Farewell: Brock and Sheba

We never expected our choice to rescue a dog would take us down the road that it did. Last summer we rescued Sheba after being abandoned. Little did we know she came to us 2 weeks pregnant. 7 weeks later, we had 7 dogs, not 1. It's been 4 months, and we still have Sheba and two of the puppies. Tomorrow Brock will be getting a home with a couple driving 280 miles from New York. For all my photographers out there- these photos were taken on my new 50 mm 1.4 lens.
Sheba will be getting a home soon as well. She needs a bigger yard and more exercise. She's been trying to tell us this in several ways- none of them good.

In some ways I feel like a jerk for having to get rid of our dogs, but I think it takes a bigger person to admit defeat. They deserve more than .1 acre of land and someone who has two full time jobs and not much time to give them walks.
Farewell!

You don't sound too upset about getting rid of the dogs. ;)
