First of all, I want to thank everybody because all of you help me recover from the loss of my Tino.
Since he left his dad (my husband) bring home another puppy (Mateo) that also has help very much, he is a handfull, but he is sooo sweet that all you can do is love him.
Right now I'm having problem trying to make up my mind, and will love to hear your opinion about the subject.
A white and blue chihuahua girl, that is going to be 3 year old this november, sister of Clementina and aunt of Tino, just became available, the breeder give her away because she doesn't get pregnant, I have her under my care (in my office, not at my home). She is a very sweet girl, a little demanding, with some adaptation issues, and a big problem of coprophagia (I became aware of this just a couple of days ago).
I took her in because I wanted to be sure she ended up in a nice loving house, I haven't found the ideal home for her, and now with the copropagia problem is going to be even harder, she is now under treatment (not working btw, but I keep trying to fix it). Since it has been so hard to find the right home, my husband suggested that we should adopt her.
To be honest, I'm torn, at having to take a decision that should be very easy. I have so many doubts, because finally things at home are in a balance again since Tino left, Mateo getting home (he also had a coprophagia issue, that is now under control), house training him, he getting along with my other two girls, I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but for my it was a little hard. And I don't want to mess everything by introducing another dog.
But I feel so selfish to deny a home to this other dog that needs help, just because I'm feeling lazy (I know I'm being a horrible person) to start again, to potty train a difficult dog, the coprophagia, the fear that Mateo will fall into his nasty habits again, to break the balance that we have now, I know that in time we will find the balance again, but I don't feel like starting again, to tell you the truth, is laziness of the process, I love the dog, I want the dog in my house, but I don't want to go thru the process.
I feel like the most awful person in the world, I know I'm being such a selfish, horrible person but I really have to make up my mind and I haven't been able to do it on my own, and also I just can't leave her to be someone elses problem. So if you have some advice I will really aprecciate it, don't worry about being hard in your comments, maybe thats just what I need
Thank you so much!!!
P.S. The possibility of a trial run is out of the question, if I decide to give her a home, she is in for good
