I know how hard it must have been to write that letter saying you could not take him, but you did a caring and loving thing. Your jobs are stressful(to say the least) and a problem child when you get home could be a bit over the top for both of you. Especially, if you have had a bad day at the hospital(loss of mother or baby, comes to mind) you need what I call "self" time. Most of my friends in medicine at all levels have chosen larger dogs. Because of my area, Labs are first choice. But, large dogs are not for every one, including me! And, shedding dogs are not for me. If you have not done so, make a list of every chsracteristic that you feel important in your dog and then search for a baby who has the most of those qualities. Good Luck in your search. AND, thank you for going into OB-GYN med. We are losing them by the hour due to many things, especially the cost of malpractice insurance.. |
