I feel weird...
15 years ago
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself "Hold on to your heart"
Now I know the man that you are,
You're wonderful so far, and it's more than I hoped for
Physically and mentally.
Physically it feels like my bones are all sore and popping easily. Maybe it's because it's been raining nonstop lately.
Mentally... I dunno.
I've wanted a puppy of my own for a while. I finally got a puppy of my own... but something is nagging me. I feel like I'm kind of ditching my first dog by bringing the puppy in... but I'm also unsure of the puppy itself. I'm happy that I've got a puppy, I'm happy that she loves me so much. I'm happy that I was able to rescue her from being put down the next day.
But on the off hand... She isn't really my dream dog. :s I've always wanted something like a yorkie, or another maltipoo like my old dog that passed away was... While this lil girl is adorable and loves me, I'm afraid that my mom's dislike for her will make this not be the best home for her.
See, the problem is that she has an under bite and the "smooshed pug" face. She's a pug-poodle. Her fur is kinda wire-y, although soft, and she sheds. All are negatives to my mom. She's not house broken, and she growled at my mom earlier. And I think she's going to get bigger than what my mom wants in a dog.. (we want under 15 lbs, she looks like she's going to reach 20-30)
I don't know what to do, or what to think. I love the puppy...but I dont think this would be the best home for her, if my mom continues to dislike her like this. She said she had a "gorilla face" and she was ugly and stupid. She's adamant about wanting a yorkie still. :/
I don't want to feel bad about having a dog here. but I also want a dog of my own, one that will sleep in bed with me at night, one that will love me. I guess I miss my first two dogs, Sissy and Angel... Sissy wouldn't sleep with me much, but Angel was my dog. She slept in my room, on my bed, etc. She cuddled with me and I took care of her. I was proud of her. But she passed away when she was 2 months old...
I need a crate, despite if I'm going to keep this puppy or get a different one. :/ London takes precedence... and she doesn't like the puppy. At all. I brought them together earlier and london ran under the couch. I tried to walk up to her later on my own without the puppy and she took off too. That just made my heart sink, because I do love London...she just isn't my dog, y'know? She doesn't ever cuddle me or anything.
Sigh. What to do? >.< Mom is on the edge of getting rid of her as is..
After taking one more look at this cutie and holding her in my arms... I'm realizing, she's here to stay. I'm going to need help funding some one time charges, such as a crate and shots and stuff, so I'm opening up commissions. Take a look at my newest journal. <3 Thanks for your support everyone.

I think it's a bit early to worry about these things. It's a brand new puppy and it takes time to adjust. When we first got our puppy he would whine all night and day. We had to train him, and he was constantly a hazard to himself. Eventually he grew up, learned to go outside (most of the time) and slept in my sister's room (VERY MUCH her dog). We got a second puppy and things were similar. It took a little bit to adjust. It's easy to notice all the bad things when you first get a puppy, but most of them get fixed with time, and the rest get forgotten when you find good qualities.
