Yes, they are amazing, and I know one day you will be ready and have the time of your life raising another one.
Oh, I don't mind you asking! They are now full time residents at the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary. They are well cared for and loved there. It was a slow transition so as to not upset them. It still hurts me really... They will always be my irreplaceable companions. However, I simply was not right for them. I couldn't give them what they needed or deserved. The story is really long! Basically, everything that could go wrong, did. Because of my negligence. But I refuse to beat myself up about it any more. I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.
Also, I have realized that even though I will soon be a college student, that I wanted companionship. Canine companionship of course! But this time, I know that a wolfdog is out of the question. One day, when I have a steady income and have a place in the country side (if I choose), with proper containment and time for a wolf or wolfdog (permits for a wolf of course), that I can actually become a good companion choice for a wolf or wolfdog. Of course, I still need tons more experience! The founder of the wolf sanctuary has been a blessing and she is helping me become more educated. Also... If I did get one again, along with all the stuff I'd need, I'd prefer it to be a rescued wolf or wolfdog. They need homes the most! Anyways (wow, I went way off of subject. XD), I have bought a good apartment sized dog that is independent enough to stay home alone for a few hours and energetic enough to enjoy hiking or agility, plus she's intelligent! She's a Shiba Inu that I have named Remedy. She's deffinately NOT a replacement. Prophet and Genesis will always be my companions as well, but Remedy is a new experience (one I know I can handle) all on her own! She is my newest companion. One I plan on keeping for her entire life-span, none-the-less! And I am surely getting her spayed. She came from a reputable breeder, but puppies aren't something I think I can afford. And I know now that if I even "think" I can't do it, than I shouldn't do it at all. Plus, she'll be much better off when she's spayed. With less chance of getting Ovarian Cancer and no chance of getting pregnant.
So that brings my animal count to two animals: One cat and one dog. In my area, two animals are allowed in an apartment. I feel no more urges to get any more animals either. We're a happy little family.
I will soon be putting up pictures of Remedy if you want to see her! I think you'll love her foxy-looking face! <3
