My heart hurts
We've been fostering a dog from work, his name is Adam. I've really grown to him. He's a very unique little dog but, he's so friggin' cute. He was recently released from our training program and we thought we were going to be able to adopt him. Unfortunately, when a dog is released from training and they were in a puppy raiser home, the puppy raiser has priority on adoption. I was told this raiser more than likely won't want to adopt him due to their hectic lifestyle. She had to "consult" with her husband, over an entire weekend. They took him. And now I feel like someone else has a dog that was meant for me.
I had to put my Leila girl down this last May, and I've not felt ready for another dog. Until Adam. And now he's gone. And I feel like I've lost another dog. It's taken me a while to be comfortable with wanting to get another dog. Only because I feel like I'm cheating on Leila, which I know is irrational. She had cancer, and there wasn't anything more I could do for her. I've been quite lost without, and then Adam came along. I would have been completely fine had he gone on to be placed with a client to be their ears. But that's not what happened. And I had a chance. I got my hopes up because my hopes were led in that direction. I'm seriously heartbroken. He was supposed to be my dog 😢
