Argus

Damn dog! It's been less than 12 hours since we took him out of our apartment home and gave it away to my aunt who owns a little farm in the surburb of the city and raises three big dogs in the field and two pet dogs at her villa home. It was an awfully sad thing to do to leave him alone in the field. We were already missing him as soon as we drove out of the field!

I thought it was the best decision for my family because the puppy was growing bigger and it was getting harder to look after a big dog in the type of housings like apartment. Of course, I sought agreement from my kids and wife before we decided to give it away. But, all the way back home, they were crying and started to hate me for the decision.

I am having a can of beer now over Argus. Over a dog. Feeling bad about myself for leading the decision. Will it be wise to reverse the decision and take the dog back home, knowing that the same decision should be made again before long and therefore another round of heartbreak is unavoidable? Or keep getting blamed and wait for the kids to calm down and find peace in their heart, after a few days, hopefully?

Oh, the can is empty already. I better go get another beer.
