Welp, I almost owned a husky tonight.
Just what I definitely need, a high maintenance active breed you actually have to exercise with everyday.
When I found her in the subzero temperatures, rifling through the trash, malnourished with her ice covered fur, no tags, the whole stupid scenario flashed before my eyes:
She’d come home with me and I’d feed her, bathe her, and wrap her in a snuggly blanket. Then we’d bond and I’d get all emotionally attached and not be able to take her to a shelter because I would project my own abandonment issues onto her and
BOOM
I’m suddenly the owner of a sports lifestyle dog. Great. GREAT.
By some kind of insane luck, right after gaining her trust and taking her back to my car, I ran into a friend that volunteers with a rescue organization and arranged for someone to get her. Amazing.
Tonight I may have saved a dog, but the real hero of this story is my friend who saved me from cardio.
Stupid, stupid cardio.
