I'm in my late 30's and 4 years ago I got a beautiful Boxer boy puppy. He is the most beautiful, calm, well behaved and loving dog. I've had a rough few years and he has literally healed me just by being by me side.
I even quit my job so that I could a start a home business and be at home with him. I can't even contemplate going abroad and leaving him, it's just not going to happen!
I also have an adult child and a long term partner, but in all honesty, my dog is my number one by far (I do love my DP and DC immensely) and I can't imagine life without him. This is where things get a bit weird ...I sometimes get overwhelmed with the thought that one day he wont be here. This is something that feels unbearable and knowing I have that pain ahead of me is distrupting my wellbeing. I don't want to let these intrusive thoughts affect my present but more and more I find myself worrying about the future without him.
I grew up with dogs but never remember feeling this strongly about a 'pet'.
Do any of you feel overly attached to your dog??! Or am I just batsh!t crazy?
