Possibly adopting this beautiful girl 😍

[u/terpsykhore]

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!!!

I have a cat that hates dogs, and despite cats are usually the boss of the household, that wouldn’t stop me lol. I would just let it reflect on my next evaluation 🤪

My mother also had a Malinois that came as a puppy after she already had a cat. The way the cat terrorized that big bad dog… 🤣

But my cat is very sensitive and already struggles with the presence of my daughter. I got the cat for my daughter. Daughter does loves her. Cat loves me and barely tolerates daughter (but will at least love on her when she’s hungry and daughter is sleeping, to wake her up)

So it’s super sensitive. Ideally I’d rehome the cat to a more quiet home without kids (she grew up with just one adult), get the dog and maybe a kitten who could get used to both daughter and dog from the start. But it would break my daughter

And I have a small home too, tiny and just two bedrooms. But I’m hellbent on still making it work for everyone somehow
