Long story short:
in july of 06 I had a very traumatic miscarriage, followed by infertility.
in the midst of dispair, I told my husband I wanted a puppy, to take care of and love. I wanted a schnauzer (had them all my life) and he told me if it wasn't a boxer, no way we got a dog.
we ended up with Maggie, our female very destructive and hyper, huge boxer.
To one point there was so much destruction in our living room, my husband once thought our home had gotten broken into.
we fell pregnant. And now my daughter is 2. She would get knocked down all the time, there were hairs everywhere, slobber, and she'd paw at her (not intentionally to hurt her) and would scratch her delicate skin.
my husband and I decided that was it, and looked meticulously for good two months for a suitable, happy family for Maggie. We found them ad sunday we went to drop her off.
my husband was extremely attached to the dog and he resents me a lot. I loved my Maggie but also feared for the worse with my daughter. She bit a couple of kids and once drew blood of my hand.
.....:( I still miss her.
I told my husband that id love to get a schnauzer. I LOVE Them! But he's so resentful, he told me he was done with dogs.
:(
I do want a guard pup, and they are excellent! We live in town and feel insecure without Maggie now.
Im so sad, and feel like I failed. I didn't tolerate her, so now im scared that if we ever get a small pup (which im used to) it would be conflicting again.
My parents still have my schnauzer from whe I moved out (10 years ago!) And I love him very much! My daughter adores him and plays so cute with him. He doesn't knock her down and doesn't slobber or shed. He doesn't destroy and is content with just laying beside you o. The couch.....
*sighs*
I am not sure what to do.
I miss having a pup.
