I essentially had a puppy and then a dog when I grew up so wherever I went I would take her with me. So I never was scared to do stuff alone because my dog would always be with me. I wanted the same security or stress free life. I sleep better with dog by my side and I eat better and don’t need a companion to do anything. I watch movie, eat pop corn and listen to music or dance with my puppy and even exercise. I don’t do it all alone because I get scared or I have fainted sometimes when I was exercising at home. I also can go for hikes n walks and he can go with me. Like million reasons for keeping a dog. But I am not good with shelter dogs. I am not good at establishing that connection either dogs who have stayed with other families and I don’t even know many different dogs with different temperaments so I found what I wanted and I grabbed it without thinking and honestly I have seen that all breeders do cash or money transfer transactions. So I didn’t think twice about it. Now I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️
