I have taken in a lot of pregnant dogs and cats over the years. It is very difficult to part with the babies after going through the pregnancy, birth, and watching them grow up. Many times I have cried as the new owners come to take them. I remember once a very nice guy came to get a baby for his wife. They were very nice people but I just loved that little baby so much. I cried so hard he offered to leave the babe since I was so upset. I told him no and that I knew I could not keep them all.
I admit to keeping a few over the years but for the most part you have to know how much you can handle and keep the numbers down especially when you intend to continue to help these poor creatures.
If you can afford to keep a puppy and care for it properly then do it. If you don't think you could handle it then find him a good home. |
