Starting To Freak Out, new furbaby Options

[My heart Cooper]

A couple weeks ago, my husband and I decided to get a puppy. She was only a few weeks old so we knew it would be another month before we got her, which gave us a couple months after Cooper passed. We went to see her two weekends ago. I've been very excited about it and she is so cute. But last night and today, when I think of bringing her home, I get this heavy feeling in my chest. I just feel like I'm going to freak out. I'm afraid I'm not ready for it. I had been doing ok with Coop's loss but once I hit a month, I've been having a really awful time again. I'm so confused. I do want to add a dog to the house. I think Rudy needs it, as much as we do. But I'm so unsure all of a sudden. I know it will be an adjustment, but what if I'm not ready? I've also been taking fertility meds this past week, trying to get pregnant, so I'm hoping the intense emotions I've been having out of nowhere are partially due to that and they'll calm down now that I'm done with the meds. I'm just scared I won't be able to love Dori as much as I should or as much as she deserves.

Dear My Heart Cooper

I had exactly the same feelings when we rescued Pixie. Would I be able to love her? Was I being too quick to find another fur baby? What would Noushka think? I can honestly say that I'm sure you are doing the right thing. It doesn't mean that we love our darling angels any the less, but that we love them so much that we want to honour their memory. They would want us to take on another fur baby, they would want us to be happy. Good luck with dear Dori and also with the meds. You have many exciting things ahead of you and your dear Cooper will be with you all the way.
Hugs
Jan and my Angels and Pixie x
