I know this might not be the place to write this but I need peace of mind.
I know there are people that are going to judge me and I totally understand that.
We had a golden of almost 9 years who passed away last September.
Anyway, through the course of the last year of his life we tried to adopt a few dogs in the hopes that my dog would have a friend and obviously I needed to fullfill some need inside myself.
I have always loved dogs and thought that maybe I could find peace with myself if I had another in my home.
We had a 2 puppies that showed signs of aggression and I was afraid for my sons safety as well as our families.
They were rehomed. We also had a chocolate lab which my golden detested and she went to live with a friend of ours.
We tried later (after the golden passed) to adopt another puppy.
She had medical issues (we spent over 1000.00 on her) and to no avail.
I wasnt working at the time and she went back to the shelter.
I feel like such a failure. I am now in school to be a certified dog trainer.
I would like to have a resuce of my own someday.
Maybe I tried TOO hard to find a dog that would fit.
Maybe I didnt try hard enough. I feel awful, I am crying as I type this.
I know comments might be harsh and I expect that.
I dont think I am a bad person I just think I dont THINK before I act.
Thanks for listening.
