Although I turned off the email notices for newly adoptable small dogs in my area, I haven’t been able to resist checking Petfinder everyday – just in case the “perfect” dog for me shows up.
This weekend, at least 4 chihuahua mix breed dogs popped up at local places. They were cute, but because they were new, there was little info on them and only a few pictures. Because Wiggles and I have been bonding so closely and she seems quite content as an only dog, I am hesitant to add another dog to my family.
So I waited. And watched. Two days later, all the dogs had been adopted or had “adoption pending” statuses.
I “want” another dog. I don’t need another dog. I don’t even think I would enjoy another dog given that I know the complications it would bring to my life.
Soon, I’ll stop growing Petfinder altogether. Until then, I’ll just watch and wait and let the dogs go to another home.
