Hi everyone,
Could use a little peer input on this because I just got a puppy and I am having second doubts very early on.
I recently graduated from college and am now working as a counselor. My living situation is independent in an apartment. I do have a girlfriend that spends long weekends with me, but she does not live here or stay more because she has her own pets at her family house in her town. This situation is likely going to stay this way for a while. I just got a puppy. I've wanted to have a therapy dog to supplement my work and I've wanted a dog longer than that. I love playing with and working with other people's dogs...but now that I have my own it seems overwhelming. The crying, the chores, the time commitment. I just don't know if I am up for it.
I value my job and apartment higher than all else at the moment.
How did you get through it? What did you factor into your decision?
Thanks all
