[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558018, member: 12886"] I'm just so sorry this didn't work out for you. I have a new older puppy who came house broken but have an older dog who has to use a pee pad often (thank heaven he does well with that ) but he is a poodle and no shedding. I walk them lots and having to get used to the shedding and im NOT a ultra clean freak. Just normal clean, smile. It is stressful. I get worried about bugs too but for sure not at the level of anxiety and flash back feelings you experience. Using a good repellent /monthly use flea and tic medication as well as monthly heartworm and wormer medication relieves my stress. Sounds like for you it isn't that simple. As others have suggested, maybe this is not the right time for the addition but a good time to work through the underlying issues. You may still have the normal dream of dog ( or bunny or??) ownership, just maybe not yet. It will be easy to rehome a puppy responsibly. In our humane shelters right now, puppies go in a day or two. They all get fixed and shots etc. Some places are not like that but I'm sure you can find a rescue that is good. Take care of the little girl in you who was hurt. Say to yourself what you'd say to any child who lived through that. Be gentle to yourself as a start, okay? [/QUOTE]
