I feel truly blessed that I haven't had to give up on anything other than more money spent for having our baby (the hubby says there goes another plasma/lcd we couldn't justify buying but have managed to spend on our yorkie)
. And putting our honeymoon on hold indefinitely. Even a little vacation to Disneyworld would have to wait. Our previous plan of going on a 7 or 9 day Med. cruise will have to be put off until she's older and I can trust my family or find a trustworthy dog-loving friend to take care of her while we're away. None of them thus far can commit the amount of time I spend with her so those types of travelling will have to wait.
Before finding my little angel, I was fully prepared to have to give up on my previous life style and be chained to the house for a long time. I had held off on and timed getting a puppy with that thought in mind. I had waited until I was ready to commit to the training, etc., needed. But she made it all so easy. And I actually enjoy being home and out more than life before furbaby! She's been reminding me how much I do love the beautiful sun and blue skies unfiltered through a sheet of glass and why home is a sweet home to come back to.
