Wrestling with my Conscience

I have been on the hunt again for a new little Pop dog. I have scoured the websites of the humane societies near and far. Our next little dog is just not there….yet.

I have also delved deep into my heart and determined I want another little bichon. Anyone who has ever shared their life with one of these little dogs will understand why I feel the way I do. All dogs are wonderful but these little dogs fit into my heart and our life, to quote Goldilocks, “Just right!”

There are no bichons in any of our shelters now and from what I gather it is rare that they are. That’s a grand thing for the breed, but not a grand thing for me as I pursue my search.

So here’s my dilemma, do I purchase a little bichon or just wait and hope that one magically appears somewhere.

I saw a classified ad yesterday that said a couple has a bichon for sale. It’s a male and he’s only nine months old. I kept thinking about the ad and quizzing myself about whether or not to call and get more information about him. As I deliberated, I did something I seldom do, I read my horoscope in the newspaper. Here’s what it said: “ARIES: Life is not a popularity contest. You’re realizing that you have to do what’s right for you. Ultimately, others will respect you for standing up for yourself”

Should I make the call or not? I think I might.
