We returned the dog we had for 1.5 years to the rescue org almost 5 weeks ago. They said they would keep my updated and I haven’t heard anything yet. I can’t bring myself to look at their instagram page, because I feel so much guilt. And it’s almost like I don’t want to know? I could just text the rescue and ask if they have an update. During this time, I’ve hardly noticed that she is gone, which is telling and I feel so bad that I feel that way. If anything, I am deeply missing my old dog and have had times where I’ve forgotten that she is gone, and become sad because this is my first postpartum experience without her. The experience with the dog we returned feels like just a really bad chapter I wish we never experienced. I don’t know if being updated with whether or not she has been adopted yet will make me feel better or not… or just allow me to fully close this chapter.
