I'd posted awhile back that my sister had left her dog with me when she moved out for her new job.

Sadly due to my work commitments the dog is being left on her own a lot and I have no secure garden to let her out in so I'm walking her 6 times a day, I spoke to my sister and she told me she could not take the dog in anyway and "it was up to me what I do with her." After a long hard think, the decision was decided that Lilly needs a new home and a family for more time with her which I can't give her.

A local rescue center got in touch and gave me the information of a couple who were very interested.
The center has 'vetted' the couple who are retired and have owned dogs previously, they have been to see her and love her, they go walking everyday up to 3 hours a day in the week and 5 to 6 hours on a weekend, they have a lovely house and garden which Lilly would love.

It's all happened very quickly and Lilly is set to go to her new home next Tuesday, I'm feeling nervous and anxious for me and her, the rescue center have told me if the relationship between dog and new family doesn't work out she will go into foster care with one of their volunteers.

I'm feeling sad but it's best for both of us, especially with my LDR I don't know where I will be living in the future, I'm sure I will feel guilty but I've exhausted all other options I can't afford not to work but it's not fair on Lilly being left alone for long periods of time.

I just feel like I am going to get judged whatever I do
