I didn’t have any more pets until I got my first snake, Glowbug. It was several years later, and I was very nervous about getting another pet, even though I was doing quite a bit better (still had my days). I decided on a snake because they don’t really need anything except water, food, and for you to clean em. Glowbug brought me such happiness though, and I ended up getting more snakes. I put Glowbug’s cage right by my bed so I’d see him first thing in the morning because I loved him so much and he made me smile every time I even looked at him.

As time progressed, I got more snakes, and got some that were harder and harder to care for (’course nothing meticulous, but things I wasn’t used to - the rainbow boa was the first ‘harder’ one). The last ‘challenge’ I got was my emerald tree boa because I mist her daily. I’ve had her for a while now and have done well. She’s truly a symbol of how far I’ve come, honestly. Looking at her makes me feel proud, you know?

I just recently decided I’m ready for another dog again. Been doing all kinds of research to make sure I’ll be a better dog owner than before (I was a kid!). 

So I guess for me, I rehomed my gliders. I know a dog is much different though. I can only encourage you to do what feels best for you. People anthropomorphize on dogs a bit too much, but as long as they end up in a safe environment where they’re fed, they won’t be too sad. Maybe at first but they do get over it. They’re animals. If you aren’t sure, maybe look at a foster situation until you’re doing a little bit better. If you can, maybe leave your pup with a friend for a couple days and see how you feel, if you’re worried youll miss them too much.
