Anxiety

I am super anxious today. On edge…

I think it is because my husband and I are thinking about adopting a dog. Those damn commercials got to me – the ASPCA commercials with the sad songs, the ones about how many homeless animals are in need. I always have to turn the channel when those come on because they make me cry.

One day I was sitting in my home office and heard one of those commercials (and I must have been thinking about our old dog we lost in 2009 – still miss him) and it made me go check out the Petfinder website. I quickly found a dog I was interested in and hesitantly sent out an email to inquire. To make a long story short, I was not the first in line to adopt the dog I saw so we did not get him but the organization said they would keep us in mind if another dog like that came through.

Well they contacted me with two possibilities this week. Both dogs look lovely and I can’t choose…I hate to choose. I feel bad taking one over the other. That is why I could never go to the pound and look and I usually avoid sites like petfinder – I want to take all the animals home with me. Of course I can’t, not enough room, money or time. But it looks like we will be getting a new dog soon.

I just get anxious because I want the dog to be happy and comfortable here. I hope he works out. I hope we have enough time to spend with him. I hope he doesn’t get sick…see my mind starts racing with all sorts of thoughts and worry, ANXIETY. Ha, ha. I am so silly.
