How could you say no to that face? I love this pooch. I do. She's nearly what I wanted in a dog. However, with life the way it is, with the job hunt, and eventual job holdings, perhaps I purchased her in haste. Now, its not that I regret it, but I feel like those mom's on 16 and pregnant. I love my puppy, but I don't know if having her now is the best option.
So I'm considering placing her in a better home. Somewhere with a back yard of awesomeness, somewhere where the people will love and appreciate her like I do, but give her the support she needs.
However, I feel like if I end up giving her up, then my family will look at me the same way they always do when I get a new pet. "Well there Elise goes again, rushing into things before thinking, and putting another animal in jeopardy." I thought this one through, but I guess not well enough. Now, I feel very put out. I feel like if I place her in a new home, I'll never be able to get another pet again. Ever. And I think that's what It'll be like. I'll keep Shadow until he passes, and then that's it. No more animals. Ever. I don't know if that will include horses, but it probably will. I'll just feel guilty. I'll feel like I couldn't really own an animal and love it like it should be. I always feel inadequate when it comes to animals. I guess, they're something I should appreciate, but never really get into again.
What do you think? Give me the full truth, put it all on the line. Truthfully. Please, give me what you think.
