After doing some hard thinking and talking with some great friends (THANK YOU), I've decided it's best that I don't go on my road trip to Portland to get Sedona bred.
I've shed many a tear over this situation today, but know in my gut that it's the "right" decision. As much as I *want* to go, I really need to keep my priorities in check and not let my finances go to pot.
I REALLY wanted to see my friends in OR and WA, and to remind myself of where I ultimately want to be (OR), but it's going to have to wait for the time being.
i can't get myself into the position of having a bitch in whelp and not be able to pay for the emergency c-section she's liable to need at 2am. I just can't do that... to either me OR Sedona. I love her too much to let her down like that. I need to set up a doggie savings account and THEN go forward with this next step in my "doggie life".
I'm so thankful to my friends who have been SO supportive... I still *want* to go, but I know I need to stay home and save save save.
Plans are still to breed Sedona to Sterling... once I get myself some money saved up for doggie emergencies...
In the meantime, I start my search for the next possible addition to my dog family.....
