This may be a little long, I will try and keep it short. My entire life I have always been surrounded by what the majority of society would consider a large amount of animals (not you guys… those “other†people lol), my boyfriend is one of these people. His limit has always been one cat, one dog. My limit is two cats, two dogs, and one spot for a foster animal or senior… basically any animal that needs a home for a shorter period of time.
We currently have 3 cats and one dog, this is way past my boyfriends limit. I appreciate my boyfriend and am extremely thankful at his open mindedness and open heart to let these little rascals into his home.
So yes, I am thankful but I still have a problem. Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to foster or get an animal that really needs the help like a senior or a severe sickness. This is my last open spot. My boyfriend has put his foot down and has said no. Also, I have always had a dog, my best friend in the world. Bruno is my bfâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s dog so I feel like I am lacking the one thing that has always been one of my most important relationships to me… my own dog. There really is nothing in the world like the relationship one can have with their dog.
I remember my bond with my German Shepherd. She was so amazing. She followed me everywhere, once a week we would go hiking, a few times a week I would just take her for a car drive out to the country. We would hang out and watch movies together. She was my best friend. I miss that. I can do that with Bruno, but he is my bfâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s dog, anyone who knows Shepherds know they are one owner dogs. He may love me but itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s not the same.
On another note I take care of the animals. I pay for all the food, toys, treats, litter, and Brunoâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Daycare. My BF will help with big bills like the vet but thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s like a once a year thing. I go home every day for lunch, sometimes I have to eat at my desk while working because it takes the full hour to drive home, let the dog out, run around with him, then drive back.
Basically what I am saying is I want my dog gosh darnit! And even though we are past my bfâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s limit I feel I deserve my own dog. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s so important for me to have that bond, I truly feel like part of my life is missing without this. I pay for it all so I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know why itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a big deal, and I take care of them so well and being that they all came to me extremely sick (other than Capone) and now they are so healthy. I put a lot of effort into my pets.
I know for a fact that if I sat my bf down and said “we are getting a dog, no if ands or butts†he wouldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get in my way. Not because I am being forceful but because he knows if I ask like that it is serious. But my problem is I want him to be into it. I want us to find a sick or old dog and together bring her/him in and feel good that we are doing something good, together. To me, there would be nothing sweeter than that.
Sometimes I feel so angry that I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have my dog. I left my entire life and moved away from my friends and family for him. I resent him for it sometimes because to me, I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t see why its such a big deal. Then on the other hand I am so happy and it makes me love him so much more because he has brought in so many pets so far.
I feel like a child in this situation. I feel like my emotions are immature being upset because I cant get a dog… just like my childhood. I also know until I get my dog I will always feel that missing void in my life. It will never go away. I miss that bond so much its been years and I still cry out of the blue for it.
I guess I am just venting. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m sure many of you have this issues, I just wish I could get what I want… I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t ask for much.
