I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 ,

I’m sorry to hear things are so tough.

Was the dog neglected? Sounds very sad. I’m sure your mum will love it to bits.

There’s a bit of a story behind the re-home. @tyme

He has separated from his wife and they were at her home. So maybe she didn’t bother as they weren’t her dogs. Plus a bushfire has just ripped through there so it could be smoke and ash aswell.

Awww poor thing looks so uncared for @Captain24

I know @tyme

My heart breaks for my mum. She desperately wanted a little puppy but I couldn’t find one. So I got this one. So now I’m feeling really guilty for doing it.

I really hope I’ve done the right thing. She will be well looked after from now though. She is going to a really good, loving home.

Im going to watch the other breeding site in NSW for when they have a litter and get mum the pup that she wants to go with this one.

It’s not helping where I’m sitting though. I’m struggling to see the good in anything. I’m a mess.

Don't be so hard on yourself @Captain24

Your home is probably the home she needs! She looks sad now, but it doesn't mean your mum won't provide her with the best home and the most love!

Mums about to give her a bath @tyme. So she will send me a nicer photo.

I know I need to stop being so hard but I just constantly feel like a failure. It hurts me so deeply to let anyone down.

But did you let anyone down? @Captain24 If anything, you should be overjoyed that you gave this dog a chance! It didn't choose to have a hard life before.

I hope the dog is okay and doesn't nip. I can only imagine how scared it must be - new smells, new place, new home, new people....

I'm thinking of it like this... if you saw a child starving, sad and hungry and you supported them and gave them a better life, would you consider you let people down just because you met the child when it was in a bad state?

When you put it like that @tyme i guess you’re right. She will have a happy life with a loving family.

It does make me wonder about the other dogs he has though. She should be healthy as he was keeping her to breed from.

I need to control myself a little better and not take things so much too heart. But that’s me.. I’ve always wanted to please everyone and try and be there for them and help them. It’s like I internalise their pain too. If that makes any sense?

@Captain24 💜💜

Struggling really badly…
