What do you need right now?!?

I really need to get through this next year without my spouse having any major health setbacks, since I no longer have a live-in sitter. I can apply for FMLA in a year.

Need to let it go ...

I went back to the shelter this morning. I hate to even think about it and feel quite rotten about it but after spending time in the play yard with the pup again that I intended to adopt, I backed out.

I am of the opinion this dog has more going on than pent up puppy energy. I am talking about over the top pup attention deficent. It was like I was an object he would run to, jump up, bounce off my body and go on to the next object. For almost an hour, I could not get him settled enough to actually pet him. His mind was going so fast he was incapable of having focus on anything or showing even the tiniest bit of affection. Yesterday, I thought it was just because he was in a smaller kennel in the back. And maybe that is all it is but I got uneasy today spending more time with him. If I brought him home --->>> Kevie, Jennifer and I would have to go on very heavy drugs.

I am sad for this little guy but right now I cannot deal with him. If I was retired, maybe.

I am just feeling bad about backing out. This is only the second time in my life I have done this. The other one was not too long before I adopted Jennifer. That unfortunate dog was gorgeous but born pure nuts. I knew I made the right decision by not adopting that one. She made me dizzy in the play yard.

Anyway, I have to put our sanity first.
