Well, it's been 3 years now and Ginger has made her own place in my heart. She is my baby girl, my shadow, my love. Getting her was in no way a bad decision. She is very different from my precious Sunny, but she is loved so much! I wouldn't trade her for anything!
Hang in there. Being overwhelmed with a puppy is normal. It will get better and you will have more freedom down the road. I'm an only child too. I think that is actually why my yorkies are so important to me. They aren't just dogs - they are family!  |
Thank you! And it truly can take some period of time to adjust to big life changes or a dog that's a bit different. I'm so glad to see when problem relationships or rocky starts can work out as in your & many of our situations - but it's a fact that they don't always.
