Can you tell which leaves grew in before the grow lights and which ones grew in after? 😂😂😂

Late last year I adopted a dog from a local shelter. Loooooooong story short, I suffered 5 major losses in less than 2 weeks, and when the dog tried to attack me out of nowhere, I couldn't cope, and I returned the dog to the shelter. It was an awful situation and I still think about it every day.

When I returned her, my dad came with me and asked them multiple times, "you're not going to euthanize her, right? 'Cause if you are, I'll take her right now and find her a home myself." They said no, absolutely not. They knew that she was a good dog, she just needed a very particular kind of home. They told me to keep an eye on their website, because she would be placed back up for adoption within the next few weeks, and once her profile disappeared again, I would know she was adopted.

I never saw her again on their site. I wasn't checking it religiously, as I was dealing with some of those losses I mentioned, but I did check it a number of times and never saw her reappear. The thing that really has me worried, though, is that she's microchipped, and when I adopted her they transferred the account over to me so I could have my info on her chip. They never asked for me to transfer the account back to them or to anyone else, and when I checked recently, I'm still listed as her owner.

I can't help but think that they euthanized her after all, and it's crushing me. She was the most gorgeous dog I've ever seen, and very calm and obedient, she just had some weird aggression issues that needed worked on. If someone had told me "keep her or she'll be killed", I would have kept her. I would have made it work until I could find another home for her myself. My mom probably could have found someone. But I believed them when they said she wouldn't be euthanized. Why wouldn't I?

I hate not knowing what happened to her, but I don't know if the shelter will actually tell me anything, and I can't help believing they must hate me after I was so insistent that I could handle this dog and I would put in the work to earn her trust.

Do you think she was euthanized? Am I missing something? Should I reach out to the shelter? Should I just live with this awful feeling as punishment for what I did?

I love her so much 😍

So far every coleus in my collection is from a tiny cutting that I took from a public garden or planter box. This is the first one I spent actual money on, and it was beyond worth it. I couldn't pass up that orange!!

Title pretty much says it all. Are e-scooters allowed on the shuttle? It's much easier to get to and from the shuttle with my scooter than with transit, but I don't want to have to leave it locked up somewhere in the city while I'm in the park.
