Zero, i get how you feel about getting another pet and having to deal with the possible loss.
I felt that way each of the last 3 times. But each time LJ forced me into having another pup, each time I gave her a hard time. And each time I fell in love with the pup. And the years we had them....all the love I would have missed out on....I’m truly glad I didn’t reject them.
The one we have now (Baby Girl) I fought for about 2 weeks. Trying to ignore her, trying to be cold. It didn’t work. I looked into her eyes, and I was a puddle. She was 3 years old, and was used to reproduce in a puppy mill. Was locked in a cage, no love. Lost some teeth trying to chew out of a cage. And she is S SWEET. So loving. I’d like to find who mistreated her and lock them in a cage.
Sorry.....I get upset when I think of those that abuse these lovable pups.
Mucky, our babies become such a part of our lives. Often we don’t even think about how much they affect our daily lives. My little girl often wakes me in the middle of the night, shaking her collar to let me know she has to potty. I never get mad at her for it. When I wake up in the morning she gets up and wags her tail at me. I would miss the little things if she wasn’t here. So I understand what you are feeling. Hang in there!!!
