I did the right thing even though i am very sad but feel relieved. A woman came and she was very nice. she is a nurse and works near by. She picked up Luc with his toys and took him to her apartment downtown. Later on she will go to New Jersey where her boyfriend lives and take him to another woman who will foster him for a few days and then send him off for a adoption. I called her a few hours later to see how the little one was doing. she said fine. At first he had a lot of energy and she gave him a bath(He just had a bath two weeks ago) and then she took him for a walk. He is playing.
I took four klonopin so have been a big groggy. It is also raining out now heavily. At least i rescued him from four months of being crated. I feel good about that. The rescue group sounds really good. I forgot if I mentioned they have placed 1700 schnauzers in ten years. Mary tyler Moore adopted a schnauzer from them.
I can't tell if my cats are relieved or what.

i found out that Luc might go to a young couple where the woman doesn't work and the husband has a great job and they live right near a park and they have lots of schnauzer experience. I told the woman again how i hope he doesn't have the same rotten experience of being crated the first four months of his life for the couple to go out a lot and crate him some more.

Dear Bobby,
This is good.
He'll be in a good place with good people.
I'm sorry that the pairing of the two of you did not work out.

thanks Mari
my apartment feels sort of empty without Luc but my kitty cats are definitely relieved. they are spending once again a lot of time with me and asking for affection.
i am making plans to start doing more activities outside of my apartment. I pray i follow through since I have so isolated myself and that was one of the reasons I got Luc. There is meditation held half a block away at a church once a week and also exercises for seniors once or twice a week. they are run by the senior center. I am a senior and Luc really drove that home. It turned out that my neighbor was nice to me and told me how sorry she was but agreed it wasn't fair to Luc not to get much exercise but she said he needed at least two or three hours of exercise in the park everyday. She is older than i am and walks at least 12 miles a day. Last year she had an accident and had her hip broken. Can you believe that?
I haven't told Robert yet nor have i told alice. Her husband is going to be operated on for thyroid cancer again on the sixteenth so i want to wait til she is over that hurdle.
I cry here and there and don't know when it is coming. then i feel good because i know he will have a much better life with his new family and he is just so precious he deserves it.

Dear Bobby

my parents are a lot older than i am - and a lot more active. it is hard not to compare... sigh... i keep thinking boy when i get to their age i am going to be decrepit...

it sounds like luc is in good hands... i am glad. i am sorry for your loss, but i think this was a good experience for you - and luc got de-crated! the crying is healthy under these circumstances. remember when you couldn't cry?

and you are still in good paws ... those of your kitties.

i hope you will be able to go to one of the senior activities and that you will find folks you can relate to. maybe others who struggle with illnesses but are young at heart, like you.

love

Bobby,
I am excited to just even start to think that maybe you are starting to think about using the senior center
