Advice please.
We are due to get a new puppy shortly which has been arranged for a while.
We also have an old dog who was diagnosed this week with a limiting illness and had to have an emergency op. He is not expected to live for much longer. Dog is now home and Kids are aware of his op and that he is struggling, is old and may not live for that much longer. They are understandably upset and older one was even said that she would kill her self to save him.
They are now not wanting anything to do with the new pup as they are saying that they don’t want to love him as he will die as well. Their sleep is affected.
Not great timing and getting a pup was meant to be part of a longer term transition plan, but all now come at once!!
Any advice please? Kids are 7 and 9.
