Give him a deadine on the puppy. "You have until X date to get the puppy or he will be rehomed."
Sorry about the fear. I can't really speak to it because I do not fear the virus. Life to me is a trip, not the final destination. I actually am much more fearful of people and society's reaction to the virus. But that is just me and my perspective, I can't expect everyone to approach the way I do.
I want to thank you for working in the medical field through the pandemic. Obviously take all of the precautions necessary.
Steve if it were just me... then what happens happens..
But what happens to my son??? I'm all he has right now. Leaving him at a young age to navigate to world without his mother is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
My safety and well being is 100% to keep my son safe.
I have accepted that the puppy is mine. We went into together to have this puppy - our last puppy, his hunting dog, the replacement for the companion he lost. He knows I never expected to raise this puppy alone. We both had demanding work schedules but between the two of us we had been getting the job done. I will not re-home the dog. I am committed to making this work. The burden along with the added stress of the S and A, crazy work schedule, pandemnic it was not ideal for me at all. BUT, that puppy is bonded to me - he has a forever home.
