My plans went out the window

I haven't seen my girl's dog family in a month.
The squad used to come around nearly daily for food. There were adult dogs, dogs my girl's age, and a newer litter of puppies. The last night I saw them, I heard a bunch of gunshots later on in the evening, after they left. I haven't seen them since
The family who owns a meat factory near me is known for putting out food scraps and lacing then with poison, I wouldn't put it past them to do this.
I really hope this wasn't the case and they just found a nicer place to roam, but I really can't get that feeling out of the back of my mind. I've seen no dogs at all.
 
If you have no information and are unlikely to ever get any, you may as well assume the best. Could be somebody took them in as pets, so they've no reason to return anymore.
 
As much as we would like to plan the perfect life for our mates, sometimes a dog finds you when you werent expecting it. Youre doing a wonderful job despite the terrible moment with her sibling. The mother knew the world was cruel and tragic and likely had almost lost hope, until she found you, a kind hearted animal lover who could take care of her baby.

They were afraid of humans and wouldn't even let anyone touch them, so I'm doubtful of that.
 
Welp...I'm at a new crossroads.

My girl's mama got pregnant again and now I have one of her puppies... making her my girl's half sister. She's probably about 6-8 weeks old, if I had to make a guess. She has teeth and can eat solid food.

Now here comes my dilemma. I had bought a house early last month, and later in the month, rescued a neglected 8-year old retired breeder Golden Retriever.

My plan was to wait a year or 2 before adding my 3rd and final dog, and I was hoping for that dog to be a German Shepherd between the ages of 6 months and 2 years.

When I brought home this puppy yesterday, my plan was to do what I was originally going to do with my now 15 month old girl who this whole thread is about, and find her a new home, but I'm afraid that the same thing is going to end up happening.

Should I find this puppy a new home after getting her wormed and vaccinated, or should I keep her?

I guess that's the thing, I'm really on the fence about this. Looking to hear arguments for or against it.

honestly, i get that you had a plan and wnated to follow it, but as a famous painter once said: there's no mistakes, only happy little accidents (i think this was the quote? idk tho)

in >MY< opinion, you should stick with her and stay with her instead of finding a new owner, but thats just my opinion, at the end of the day, is your choice, but i just hope that no matter your choice, both you and this girl can be happy at the end <3

edit: unless its starts to get to overwhelming for you, then i think you should find an owner :/
 
It's been a while since I've posted here, but for anyone who still remembers or is still at all interested, I ended up finding the foster puppy a forever home towards the end of April/beginning of May.

As of this week, my girl who I started this thread over is on her 3rd heat, and her senior rescue golden sister is also in heat at the same time.

While that normally would sound fantastic, towards the end of May / beginning of June, I found a human girlfriend, which I never thought I'd ever do. I read a post somewhere online before memorial day where a certain person was kind of lamenting how if he died, the only way he'd even be found is if the smell got too bad and the neighbors started to complain, and that whole idea really started to fuck with my head.

So, yeah, my plans went out the window AGAIN.
 
Oookkk.
Good news on thre pup.

The girlfriend part, to cite "The Eagles"
This could be heaven, this could be hell.

Thing is. Does she knowcabout your zoo part? If not... What are your options and intentions?
No, not need to answer here, but you totally need to think about it.

Life is fun...

She does not know about my zoo side, and I don't ever think I can reveal it to her. As for the other question, I really don't know if I'll ever be able to find an answer.

Yes, I imagine so as finding a girlfriend who is *also* zoo would be like winningvthe lotery.

That is your biggest decision here. Either keep her or keep the zoo thing. It is your choice but personslly I would not keep both as it would feel like cheating.

Act wisely, grasshopper, and the best for you?

At this point in my life I have more or less accepted this as my fate. And I am fine with it too as I am not interested in finding a girlfriend. I have no need to, I'm getting too old for sex so having a girlfriend is a waste of my precious time now. (I hope this thread didn't take a dark turn.)
 
Welp I never thought this would happen but I ended up getting married to the girl I mentioned in my post a few months ago. Baby #1 is on the way.
Haven't had sex with either of my dogs since July. Kinda feel bad about that.
Speaking of my dogs, Christmas week I had to take my Golden Retriever to the vet and they had her spleen removed. Just found out today that her biopsy results came back and she has hemangiosarcoma and only has 2 months left to live. Gotten me into a really big depression now.

I still don't know how the hell I went from being zoo exclusive to marrying a human but I guess my ape brain hit the override. I still am attracted both romantically and sexually to female dogs but I guess I just won't be able to act on it anymore.
 
Sorry to hear about your Golden, Sultry. I lost my Bloodhound long ago to cancer in her mouth, during which I had a few months to prepare for the inevitable. More recently my old Saint Bernard passed very suddenly, also to cancer, this one an aggressive growth in her abdomen that I never knew about until we woke up one morning and she wasn't able to stand up due to pain. Having experienced things both ways, I am glad you have some time to adjust and say goodbye.

I'm glad you found a woman to marry, and I think you're doing the right thing by stopping with your dogs so as not to cheat on your human partner. I do regret that you have to hide part of yourself to make it work, so I hope one day you feel comfortable enough talking about zoo with her, and even mentioning it as something you used to do.
 
Damn. Those are quite some changes indeed.
Not really bad, actually. But make sure you stick to the present life and *enjoy* it for the sake of all.

And, congrats on the "new ape" 😁 While I am not a fan of those, I know that, when it is your own, it is best thing ever. Even if it is a life chore too. Best wished on that.

And obvious sadness about your golden news. That is never rasy to cope. How old is she?
