She and I constantly went back and forth with e-mails allllll day long for weeks until I finally brought my Katie home. And even after I had my little girl home with me, Brittany still helped me out a lot.
So after owning a tiny for 1 year (even though I tragically lost my little girl), I feel that I know a lot of their health and the warning signs to look for. I'm worried that if I don't get this little girl, some irresponsible person (pretending to be responsible and carinig) will buy her and not take care of her properly. She needs a home where she can be pampered and supervised constantly. I know that I could give her a great home and take care of her health needs just like I did for my Katie and like I will continue to do for chunky monkey Codie. The only thing standing in my way is my own feelings of guilt, like I am betraying Katie. But I'm starting to believe what everyone has been telling me all along -- that Katie would want me to be happy and open my heart and home to another little girl. |
I thought the same thing while reading these posts. I have a smaller Yorkie and I know they require some special care. It seems like too many people get them (or want them) without realizing their needs. This little girl would be so safe with you wouldn't she? It sounds like you need each other. As long as you feel confident in this breeder and the pups health, my vote is with taking her. (we are voting right?)
Katie and your Mom would both love seeing you smile again. They would love knowing that you have this little creature filling the giant void in your heart. Life can be too short, and scary, and challenging, and painful and and and....we can't control those things. Don't waste a moment on guilt.
Can't wait to see photos of your new baby. No matter what you name her she will be your JOY.
