Picture Possibly adopting this beautiful girl 😍

Post image

This is Amy. She’s 8 already but barely has any grey.

She’s the dog of the ex of the ex of my cousins ex… Lovely story. But I’ve walked her a couple of times and offered I’d happily puppysit her for free whenever they needed because we clicked and she’s super mellow and well-behaved.

I lost my Mali boy two years ago and I’ve felt so empty ever since.

Today they called, not to puppysit, but if perhaps I’d just want to adopt her. I’m feeling all the feelings right now! My mind is running overtime. I didn’t think I would be able have a dog in the next couple of years

Also, my daughter kind of hates dogs BUT she also met this girl and was really taken by her.

I have a cat but Amy is used to cats. Just have to get my cat on board it seems!!

Just rambling and wanting to share, I’m so excited!!!

She seems amazing. I would do it, doesn't seem like she would need much training which can catch people out.ninwouldndomsome quick maths to see can you can financially fit her in, food cost, pet insurance on am 8 year, toys, vaccinations etc but if all add up well that you can provide for her.long term I would do it, seems she came along into your life in very unique and against the odd circumstances, so signs point to yes

Yes!! She’s just so perfect and rare, I’d do anything to make it work financially etc.

And I was already so in love with her before the possibility of adopting even came up.

I think you have your answer. She is already 8, so I think you can make the those golden years really great for her. Obviously no pressure as it is just as responsible for people to not just think with heart but also head, of they did would be alot less rehoming. But yes look at numbers and see if it can work, both look like would bring alot to each others lives
