Too busy for a puppy???
Yes….that’s what I heard in a phone conversation yesterday. I phoned a women who is in charge of Old English Sheepdog rescues. According to her when I explained my work schedule she told me I wasn’t fit to be a mom to a puppy. What??? So because I work 3rd shift I can’t have a dog? How does that work? I was about in tears because I’m (and my husband too) such a huge dog lover! The biggest reason I want a puppy is that I already have a cat and a puppy will get used to having a cat around quicker or maybe better than a grown dog. Her comment keeps ringing in my ears. Is it true that having a puppy with my schedule would be horrible?? I’m here at the station about 6 hours then asleep for 6 to 7 hours. Now we do have a plan where I would play with the dog and take it for a walk when I get home from work and then let him sleep for awhile then when my husband comes home a couple hours after that he can do the same thing. So much to think about before getting a dog. Why does it have to be this tough? What do you think? We do have a lot of options to look at so we have some time. Good thing I’m not having kids I’d hate to see what ridicule I’d go through for that!!!
