I wanted a dog for a long time. I'm allergic, so I decided that Maltipoo is perfect for me and my flat. But. I'm afraid. Hypothetically I really want a dog. I want to love and care for them. I can see how they would make my life better. I feel like I financially and mentally ready, I feel I can provide good care to the animal. I have a stable life at the moment. But the moment I actually make moves to get a puppy, like contacting the breeder, watching photos of potential puppies, arranging the meeting to see puppies, I'm starting to doubt. What If I'm not ready? What if I lose my job? What if they get really sick and I am not able to afford treatment?What if I get sick and won't be able to walk them enough? I broke my arm last year and it was really hard to take care of myself. What if I get depressed again and won't be able to walk them enough? It might be obvious, but I have anxiety and my brain is fighting against me. Any advice or word of encouragement, your own experiences with your maltipoo?
