| Do you ever feel guilty? I'm so excited to go get "Little Dude" in 3! short days. I'm as prepared as I can be; I wrapped up all his various accessories in a HUGE box for my girls to open once they meet their new puppy. Then it'll be off to Petsmart so they can choose some new toys/bowls/etc. Little Dude will be making his grand entrance in a sweet little Easter basket! I'm hoping my father-in-law will be able to capture the whole thing on video. So why am I feeling a bit sad? Every time we drive out to the breeder's home (about an hour away), we have to pass the city's shelter. As I think about how much $$$ I have already spent on our Little Dude, I can't help but think how many of those sweet animals in there are just waiting for someone to love them... No, I can not adopt a shelter dog right now. Trust me, getting this new puppy took over a year of convincing myself that now is a good time! LOL! My much loved cat was destined to be a shelter kitty- got him free from some people who had no idea who his parents were. (They had 3 different litters of just plain ol' domestic shorthairs in the backyard!) So I'm not anti-shelter at all. I just feel guilty spending so much money on Little Dude when a much-cheaper pup from the shelter would love our family just as much- maybe even more? Any advice? (I already donate $$ toward Homeless Animals) |
