It’s ok to grieve for the dog you wanted.
When thinking about adding a dog into our homes and families, most of us picture how it will be. The fun things we’ll do. The long walks we’ll go on to enjoy the world around us. The family trips out to places, long relaxed days of enjoying ourselves with our canine companions by our sides.
That’s the ideal, the thing that most of us want for us and our dogs.
The difficulty is that’s often not how it turns out.
