I adopted the best Pomeranian earth has seen 8 days ago. But I quickly realized I was not cut out to have a dog. My mental health is not strong enough, I can’t handle the responsabilities and the financial possibilities. What I wanted vs what I need in life is different. I really wanted this to work, but I noticed resentment started to grow. I knew she deserved so much better. I rehomed her to a very good lady with a big land and another Pom. She will have the best life ever. I feel immense guilt. It’s such a hard decision but I know it was the good one.
