Comfortable Saturday, pal!
Going to be a brief hello this morning as a result of we’re, nicely, how do I say this? We’re taking Connor to go meet a pet. Whether or not or not she’ll be becoming a member of our household continues to be very a lot up within the air. I’m sort of on this bizarre state of in-between as a result of we’ve been speaking about it for some time, and it’s all been very theoretical, however right this moment it might really occur.
A little bit backstory. Connor’s getting somewhat older, and El Hub and I’ve talked at size about how now could be the precise time for a canine to hitch our household.
Earlier to Tabs, each El Hub and I had been solidly canine individuals. After we first bought collectively, we each envisioned having a canine in our fam-bam, however then we met Tabs who was such a dog-like cat; he modified every little thing for us.
We each have canine expertise so we all know what we’re entering into, and we all know it’ll be a giant life change. A part of me looks like I’m not prepared for it, however a part of me additionally is aware of that I’m by no means going to really feel totally prepared, so why not now?
The pet is a candy Aussie rescue who’s 8 months outdated, so she’s a excessive vitality working canine. She’s apparently very good, too, and we had been instructed that she’d be a very good candidate for agility lessons and nosework.
We’ve additionally talked at size together with her handlers about learn how to do a gradual intro with Rosie, who, by the way in which, lived with 4 huge canine at her earlier foster house. We’ve additionally had canine over at our present home, and Rosie acts like she’s the boss each time they’re round.
Did I point out that I actually don’t know the way that is going to play out?
Truthfully, proper now I’m leaning in direction of no as a result of as a working mother, I really feel like I’m all the time doing one thing for another person and having one other animal up within the combine to handle would simply be extra work for me.
We’ve had prolonged household conversations about me not taking up extra, although, and the way if we added a canine to our household, El Hub and Connor would take level. We’ll see.
Anyway, El Hub and I met her yesterday, and the following step is to have Connor meet her right this moment.
I’ll let you recognize what occurs!
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
