We’ve just returned from holiday and had our lovely dog returned to us.
She’s honestly a treasure, is such a good girl and absolutely no complaints about her, but I just found that the day we arrived back before she was collected from her doggy sitters was so relaxing, and having her back feels like this endless list of chores and life admin stretching ahead of me.
I’m getting a bit panicked!! I honestly wonder if I should even have children if the prospect of walking and feeding and organising care for a perfect dog is too much for me.
I guess I just miss having the house to myself and DP and that 1:1 energy, with her here we just spend most of our time talking to the dog or patting her instead of each other! We used to be such a tactile couple, constantly canoodling, and now she gets 100% of both of our cuddles.
I don’t even know if there is any advice I am seeking, just needed to vent really. It might just be holiday blues as well and needing to get back into that rhythm of life again. Or maybe I need to get some doggy sitting for a break even if we aren’t on holiday.
Completely terrible but sometimes I imagine adopting her out to a lovely retired couple beside the sea so she could live her best doggy life and I could sleep in again 💔😭
I have no idea how all you wonderful people with reactive dogs and dogs with other issues deal with life, you must be absolute saints and full of so much energy.
