I lost my dog two weeks ago and we have been thinking of getting a puppy for awhile. Anyway I filled out an adoption paperwork application and got reapproved and on a whim went to a puppy adoption. We had adopted a puppy and I am realizing it was a big mistake. I wasn't ready it brought up all my sadness about losing my dog and a ton of anxiety. I would give her up now if my son wasn't in love with her although he has had her for two days. It's only been two days but I just can't do it – it's consuming me. I want to wait and be really prepared and not just get a cute puppy. I didn't think I was that person but here I am adopting for all the wrong reasons. Any advice to talk with my child about this or been in a similar place?
