Those You Can't Help

Me:  Eve, it is so hard when you get calls about dogs that either you know you can't help or you have no room for them.

Eve:  Mama, I thought we could help all the dogs.  I know there are sometimes we don't have room for everyone.

Me:  One of the hardest things for me to accept is that we cannot help every dog.  Some dogs are beyond help.  It can be a health issue or behavior issues.  We always have to think of everyone already at the rescue and not just the one dog.  That is very hard to deal with.

Eve:  So you have to say no sometimes?  I don't like it when you tell me no.

Me:  No you don't like it Eve.  I hate it when I have to tell someone no.  You don't want to take a dog that will have to live in a kennel for the rest of its life.  That feels even worse than saying no at the very beginning.

Eve:  It makes you sad mama.

Me:  Yes Evie.  You have to focus on the good and what you CAN do.  That's what gets you through it!
