My sheltie turned 7 last month, and although I feel like I just brought him home not too long ago, I began to worry about his aging. He wasn't a puppy anymore (he's always been one to me, even at 3,4, and 5), and I can tell that he's calming down more. I knew that I'd always be there for him but that these changes would now only increase, and I couldn't stand imagining the day he'd tell me that it's about time to go. <br />So very suddenly, I decided to get another sheltie, hoping that he'd be a friend to my 7 year old but also help me adjust to his getting older. The puppy is just 8 weeks old and I've already become extremely attached to him. I worry that my 7 year old will think I'm replacing him, but I also worry about how to give enough attention to both of them. As much as they heal my heart, they also break it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
