Warning....Long....Rantish....*Updated*
Wow. I haven't been on here in ages. This will be long and not grammatically correct; for that I apologize in advance. I'm not sure if anyone will remember me and my crazy dog or not. Sadly, my little Chloe was put to sleep on 2/22/11.
She developed lymphoma. This has now happened to me with TWO flippin' dogs in a row. She was so young and I never expected to have this happen AGAIN. It has been a really tough pill to swallow and I miss her like no other. Some of you may remember her and Marco (my other dog) getting into it, and we've been resorting to keeping them separated for the past four years. Marco, now 13, is still alive and kickin...going strong. Fast forward to yesterday...my husband had the brainiac idea of adopting a new pit puppy from the shelter without telling me. He knows how mopey and depressed I've been, and I respect him in the sense he was trying to do something nice for me. I just received a text with her picture and him telling me it was a done deal, she'll be coming home today. I lost it. I loooooooved my pit bull, but I'm a believer in just having one dog when going that route based off my experience. I did the unexpected and told my husband we can't keep her. Now I feel like I have lost two dogs this week. I'm just literally sick to my stomach over all this. Am I overreacting, should I just give another pit bull a shot regardless if I already have a dog knowing they might not get along? This wound in my heart is still VERY fresh, what if I compare her to Chloe and have resentment? If you got through all this, thank you. I just needed to vent to people who may understand my feelings. Others that don't understand dog aggression and the sacrifices that come with it just don't get it.
