We adopted a dog today. You may be aware that we had two dogs, but our old man died in December. We decided it was time
For a playmate for Sophie, and have been looking as rescues, shelters.
I stumbled across a 7year old Morkie female that needed a new home. She is healthy, shots up to date, spayed, microchipped, house trained, etc. And adorable.
I contacted the owners and they came to visit for a playdate yesterday. They took her home afterward. Today they called and wanted another visit. This time they stayed for a while then went out for an ice cream to see how she would be alone with us and Sophie. They called from the ice cream shop and thought it would be better if they just left her with us and went home.
So they left her with us permanently. We are in shock. What we learned from our two meetings with them is that this is HIS dog. She adores him, and he adores her. But the wife has decided that the dog is cramping her lifestyle. She wants to party, go boating, spend winters in Florida and summers in Boston, travel, etc. But she feels tied down by the dog. So she insisted he get rid of the dog. She basically told us this today. Both he and the dog are heartbroken.
If we didn’t take her, she would end up in a shelter or a rescue environment. She is adorable, but very sad. She keeps looking for daddy. Sophie keeps trying to comfort her. Our hearts are breaking for her and her daddy, but she is better off with us than in a shelter.
I don’t understand how heartless and selfish that woman is. How do you give away a member of your family after 7 years? And how do you do that to your husband?
Here are some pics.
