Mocha had a really tough day yesterday and I decided to work from home to stay with her. Ended up getting in a run in the late afternoon but 30 minutes she was alone between the time I left and Ruth came home was too much for Mocha to handle and she began to break out of her second crate (the one we bought after she escaped from the first and demolished our Condo)

After a long talk with the most wonderful Melinda (our dog-sitter who also happens to be a Vet Tech), we made the heart-breaking decision to take Mocha back to the shelter. She just has a severe case of Separation Anxiety and despite all the money and time we have already poured into her, she needs more than we can offer. We e-mailed the shelter and hope Melinda agreed to take her there if they will take her this weekend.

Our flight leaves tomorrow morning and Melinda agreed to stay tonight so she will be here at 4AM when we leave to be sure Mocha does wake up our entire building when we leave.
