I had all the same feelings you are having before we got Beemer. I work with Sadie a lot and she's my little girl and my sidekick. I was really worried about the bond we have changing. It may not be the right time for you to get another, but I'll bet that whenever you are ready you are still going to have those same feelings. It really is hard dealing with how to split your love. Even after we got Beemer I felt guilty if I paid him too much attention - kind of like I was telling Sadie she wasn't my first true love anymore. Then I would remember how I was when we got Sadie and all the attention she got and I'd feel like I wasn't being fair to Beemer. Honestly, it took time to work through all of that but now I couldn't imagine not having both of them. I never thought I could love another dog as much as I love Sadie but it happened. When the time is right those worries will be outweighed by the need for another furbut and you'll work it all out. Good luck! |
