I want to but I just don't know if I could ever put another momma at risk after becoming so attached. I did learn a lesson just as you have -- listen to your heart, follow your instincts, if something feels wrong, it probably is.
I look at it this way -- if we were meant to get into breeding, it will all work out eventually. Maybe this was not the time for either of us. |
Oh, I'm so sorry about Sadie!!! I've been trying to look at this as a lesson...and everything happens for reasons and it'll be okay!!! I just love babies and animals...my lionhead bunny is due to have babies any day. I actually tried to become a foster mom for pets that were due to be put down but it didn't work out because I specified I could only have small dogs and they said they hardly ever have small dogs. It's just I have bunnies, one who's litter trained and lives outside his cage and two kids so dogs that are big and we don't know what they've been through was a deal breaker...probable better off, they would have never left and I'd end up with all of them...lol
