How can you be happy but have your heart torn into a million pieces at the same time?
Apollo officially sold Monday. Passed his vet check Tuesday, and went to his new home today.
His new owners are awesome people. I made new friends. They have been keeping me updated all afternoon with pictures. I met their trainer and trimmer and their vet highly recommends them. I've seen his new home and he even has toys in his stall.
That being said, I've been keeping myself busy all day and my screen is blurring from all the tears right now. I had him for 6 years, and now, he's gone. I'm feeling guity because I promised him a forever home when I rescued him, but I keep reminding myself that he's better off where he is. They have the time, energy, knowledge, and trainer to work with him, and we don't. Head and heart don't always agree though.
It was a long process getting him trailered but eventually he walked up into it with me. He trusted me enough to go in. Queue more tears.
I keep looking back at his pictures. I'll post some tomorrow for you guys. I have an open invitation to visit whenever I want. He's an hour away.
I miss him already.

Sounds like you found him an incredible home. Yes, sometimes our heart and head do not see to jive on somethings but the fact that he is close, you really checked these people out and you can go visit him is great! Sending lots of to get you through this difficult time but keep having your head tell your heart how this is the absolute best thing you could do for him.

to you. Sometimes even doing the right thing feels like the wrong thing.
