A message from Lina's 2 mommies.. My husband and I are very sad that we're rehoming Lina. It's a heart breaking decision. We love Lina very much and have taken her into our hearts as our little girl in the 15 months since our adoption of her from Kristin. We will miss her so very much.

Bella and Lina get along quite well as sisters. They like playing together every day, play wrestling, and chasing each other. Where one chi goes, the other chi follows. They even like sleeping curled up next to each other.

It's only when they want to be alpha over each other that cause problems and recent fighting. The dominance issues between them are getting worse and their fights are escalating as Lina is becoming more comfortable in our family. We have done everything possible in training them to get along. Our biggest fear is that they could seriously injure each other.

I am heart broken. The selfish part of me wants to keep Lina. However, I know deep down in my heart that loving Lina also means letting her go. My husband and I take comfort in knowing that Lina is going back home to Kristin who loves and wants her as much as we do.


For My Lina: It's Time To Say Goodbye

You lay in my arms with your big brown eyes looking up at me.
As I run my hands through your fur, you let out a soft sigh.
Don't cry, don't cry, it's time to say goodbye.

I tell you I love you and you let out a low whine.
It’s time for you to go back home, forever, this time.
Don't cry, don't cry, it's time to say goodbye.

You feel my pain and deep hurt in my heart.
As I sob and cry, you look at me and kiss my wet face.
Don't cry, don't cry, it's time to say goodbye.

Your heart aches. They say a heart is a big place.
I guess that makes this easier to face.
Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s time to say goodbye.

Goodbye isn't forever; it's a temporary thing.
Knowing you'll be happy with your first family eases our pain.
Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s time to say goodbye.

Lina, we will always love you and never forget you as our precious little girl...

I am in tears

I know how hard this decision must be for you

What a heart ache. I feel so sorry for you. What a heartwrenching thing to have to do. Take care of yourself and let yourself grieve for her when she's gone. I'm so glad that Kristin is getting her back but what a situation. I can't even imagine how I'd feel if I had to give Brody up. It would just devastate me, I know that. We are here for you.
