Did I make the right choice?
Good morning 🌞 💕,
( ⚠️Trigger Warning: Parent loss, depression & anxiety)
GI've had my puppy for approximately 2 months. I got her during a very difficult time for me and I heavily considered taking her back to her breeder. (I got her 2 days before my recently late father's birthday). He passed in April.
I was and still am very depressed and have heavy anxiety. Things have gotten a lot better considering I've had a lot of help with her. I considered sending her back at first because I just couldn't keep up and I felt my grief and anxiety wasn't fair for her.
Anywho, I decided to keep her. She has brought so much joy. I haven't completely grown a huge connection with her yet, but in definitely getting there. I pray I made the right decision for her and myself to keep her.
Does she look happy? Experienced dog owners, does she look pleased? Happy?
I am a teacher so I work 6:45 am-3:30. However she has two people that feed and play with her and take her out during that entire time. I try to take her to a dog park at least twice a week and swim on the weekends when I am free. But recently I got sick and couldn't do as much after work. I just pray I'm doing everything right. Sometimes she looks SO sad /:
She is a 6-month-old standard poodle.
