So one of our dogs passed on Memorial Day this year, she was old but it was at least quick. Kinda poking around but I started looking at rescue sites again and found one that's coming our way, up from Georgia. She has an underbite that some will call ugly but I love the uggos, it's personality. She must have had some odd stuff before, the foster said she ran to the shelter folks to get away from the couple surrendering her. She should be here this week. Point of the post is that there were responsibilities that I had that kept me from even thinking of CTB no matter what happened. Kid, my mom, the dogs, etc. Most of those have become non-issues and I was really down to the last one but adding this 1 year old dog locks me in for however long she's here, I (more than my wife) wanted her, did the paperwork, am ready to raise her and give her the best I can. That also means I suck it up and keep moving forward regardless. So that part sucks and "what was I thinking" comes to mind. But it also gives my life more meaning than work-pay taxes-work and a feeling of an actual purpose. I see my therapist tonight so we'll have something to talk about and he'll have some things to say. He's a good therapist for me, no bs and all that. But the work and costs of another dog is worth it to me. Anyone had this same thing happen to them?
