He wants another dog so bad. It's driving me nuts. I'm so torn because of course, I'd love to surround myself in hundreds of dogs. But I am so afraid to chance the heartbreak that I went through giving Teddy away.
Teddy is doing really good. I get updates on him all the time, but I don't talk about him to you all to much because my heart hurts when I think about him. I miss him so bad. He was such a misfit in our home, but I regret giving him away so much... I'm constantly thinking of what ifs and could haves when it comes to Ted.
Anyways, I want another dog, but I'm so scared. What if this one wound up being a nutcase too? There is no way I could bear to lose another animal. I never thought that I was the type of person to even give up like I did Teddy. And then just a year ago, I'd put Rosco to sleep because of his aggression. I've went through heartache twice last year. I don't think my heart could survive if I was forced into a situation again.
But if it did work out, which dogs do normally work out 99% of the time, it would be so awesome. Rosco and Teddy were the only dogs that I got as babies, and they didn't work. Everyone else, I got as adults so I knew for certain what I was dealing with when I got them. Perhaps if I get another adult, it'll be ok.
I don't know. Just rambling my thoughts. Sorry.
