My partner has never had a dog of their own, and has been wanting to get a dog for years — I agreed, eventually, after saying goodbye to my soul dog 2 years ago. For some insane reason we chose to adopt a mix puppy from a shelter last week, and I’m really, really struggling with the choice we made. Puppy blues are hurting me, my INTENSE fear that she will be prey-driven towards our cats as she grows up is keeping me up at night. I keep thinking what if we raise her and she ends up needing to be rehomed later if she and the cats don’t mesh… I just wish we made a different choice, but my partner is already bonded with her and devoted to making it work. I just feel sick and so, so upset with this choice. And I’m so scared! Why did we get a puppy 😭 there’s so many unknowns 😭
