  • Feeling inadequate being a new dog mom

    I recently adopted a small dog from a local shelter. He is a beagle and Chihuahua mix. His name is Albert and he is so sweet.

    I just received him yesterday and when we tried to go on a walk, it ended up being a disaster. I fell over my walker twice, the second time most of my neighbors seemed to be out on the street as well as a cop car rolling by. I had my neighbors and two policeman chasing after my newly adopted dog because I couldn’t hang on to him after I fell.

    One thing I require with dealing with the FA for me is being completely transparent and honest. It doesn’t make me feel good that I have to have my mom walk my dog because I don’t have the ability to. But, the that works for us.

    Have you felt this way when it comes to owning a pet?

    I know that we’ve found adaptations, but it’s still a difficult pill to swallow because once again I am unable to do something because of FA.
