Too much or too little?
So I really need your advice. Those of you from YT might know this story, but just in case, I'll give you the background. My little girl Maddie came from a very loving home with a very nice family who simply could not keep her and their other two dogs due to their new landlord's policy. (They have now gotten the other yorkie, Tucker, back, but only very recently.)
The mother and 14 year old daughter are both active members of YT. Here's the problem. I just don't know if I am helping or hurting by giving them updates and letting them know how Maddie is doing. Do the pics, videos, and stories make them happy (bringing back good memories and knowing that she is safe, happy, and loved) or do they make them sad (by making them miss her more)? I don't want them to think I am neglecting them by not sharing these stories and pics, but I don't want to make them sad either. I just feel so sorry for them. I couldn't handle it if I were in their position. I want to make things as easy as possible. I almost sent them pics with their Christmas card, but decided not to because I didn't want to make them sad during the holidays. I received a package from them tonight with a gift for Maddie and one for Marty. What would you do in this situation??? Keep them updated with as many pics and videos as possible or not send these things so that they don't miss her more?
