What a difference a day makes, we turned a full 180 on the dog.
Kelli had a terrible night, waking up at five and not being able to get back to sleep, and all because of the dog issue. There were no signs of conflict during the day, yesterday it was bells and whistles, now it was questions and concerns.
I think it was me that said that maybe it’s not the right time to inflict a new animal into our household. I did not get a reply.
By breakfast time, with the atmosphere tainted by the lack of sleep, Kelli told me that she had already contacted a friend that had recently lost a dog asking them if they wanted this one.
I was a bit annoyed that she had gone off and made plans without discussing with me.
The whole situation had become complicated, that was made worse by the friend not wanting a new pet.
Kelli thought that she should come clean and tell the dog owner of all her problems, her sleep and anxiety issues, he seem to understand, and then told her that he decided to keep the dog himself.
I hadn’t seen that coming, but it eased the guilt.
We had a bit more pool time, adding to my redness a bit. For Kelli, the lack of sleep, the dog issue, it had been a hectic day, she needed the pool more than I did.
