My feels.
[Cherri, feel free to skip this paragraph] I do not know that I well ever be ready for a new dog. I’m trying not to be childish and dreadful about it. The idea, however, does not sit well with me at all. I feel quite ill over it, to be honest. I am trying to allow the idea of change to inspire growth. I feel it is extremely difficult though because I have such strong feelings about the adoption of a new pup. I, I’m just not “used” to Copper being gone (and I may very well never be). I don’t want to get a new dog because I am not comfortable with the idea. One, it’s not Copper. It can never be Copper and I am struggling with this idea a great deal more than I want to admit or that I like to deal with. It’s been a week. I don’t “feel right” getting a new dog. It’s “too soon” for me. I don’t know if five or six years would be “enough” time, to be frank. I’m also trying not to let these feelings make anyone else miserable. My dad is in quite the mind frame that he needs a dog. And part of his healing, I think would be supplemented very well with a new dog (not that I think he didn’t love Copper as much or anything like that). I think it would give him something else to focus on. And though we disagree on the issue, we’re both trying to be supportive. I’m thankful, at least, that I was able to bring up my concerns and that they were (more or less) heard.
In other news, I feel pretty good about my career and life choices. I’ll be working on taking the CBEST in October. My mentors are very excited about that. The only issue is that for me to sub in their classes, the need to be out. That is a very good thing in and of itself, but I laugh when they say they want me to sub for them. I feel very complemented, though! Still, I think we would all prefer that they were in charge of their classrooms. If they are out (for whatever reason) I already know the student’s names and the classroom routine and that makes a lot of things a lot easier.
