Sad Day :(

So last June we really wanted a pet, shortly after Nicholas died. I didn't want a dog, because I was still trying to get over him. Jon has had cats all growing up. So we decided to adopt a cat. We went to the Humane Society to look at cats and I found a cat named Frost. He is a gray tabby, who is 6 years old. When I saw him I knew that was the cat I wanted. He had ended up being the best cat ever :D While at the Humane Society, Jon talked me into looking at dogs too. He saw a beagle, and asked me if we could adopt him too. He wanted a Beagle all growing up and his parents never would let him. After a little bit of hanging out with the dog, I let him adopt the beagle Scooter too. The dog was 6 years old too. The cat and dog got along. Scooter was a pretty good dog, and listened for the most part. The last few months though Grayson has been chasing him around and/or just trying to play with Scooter. Scooter would growl at him, and snip. It kept getting worse, and was to the point we were scared one day he might bite Grayson. We had grown attached to him though so we didn't want to get rid of him. When we got Sherlock, he played well with Scooter too. After a few days though Scooter started growling and snipping at Sherlock if he would even walk by him. After talking to a few people we decided the best thing would be to take Scooter back to the Humane Society, so they could find him a better home. One with children older then 6 years (he doesn't like small kids) and no pets or at least no other dogs. Among arriving at the Humane Society to drop him off, the guy at receiving told us he can't believe that we were able to adopt him. Apparently beagles aren't good with small children, even more so when they get older. We are very sad about having to give up Scooter, but we know it was the best decision and they will find him a good home.
