Long story short, a few months ago we suffered a tragedy with our much wanted and loved puppy.
The dc, husband and I have been miserable ever since. I swore we wouldn’t get another dog because I was completely heartbroken. I couldn’t face losing another one again, and I didn’t think we’d ever be lucky enough to find another one as smart/loving as her.
My sisters friend lives on a farm and often takes in strays/unwanted pets from their village. She had recently taken in a small female mongrel who they then found out was pregnant.
Dsis mentioned the pups a while ago when they were born but I explained we were too heartbroken to think about it. Dh and dc have kept showing me pictures of random puppies but I haven’t felt anything apart from ‘aw cute’.
She sent me a picture today of the one female puppy who hasn’t got a home yet (the others have been given away to people they know well). And has said that all the friend is asking for is that they can do a home visit tomorrow morning, then we would be free to go and visit her and her mum at the farm and pick her up.
I haven’t said anything to dh and dc yet, but I have to admit, I’ve completely fallen for her. I have an intense desire to go get her and am strangely excited about doing the the sleepless nights/training/puppy classes all over again.
Am I BU or insane to even think about this?
