Not really a puppy update, but kind of one anyways:
Over the course of this year, our neighborhood has been increasingly unsafe. From very occasional incidents over the years we've been here, to multiple shootings and murders within a quarter mile of our house, just in the past couple months we're at 7-8 incidents. I even was outside about 20ft away from people shooting at each other in their cars (terrifying). Our county has had a couple city council sessions to try and address the violence. But, tbh, I just don't think I'm able to feel safe here. Which is to say, essentially, in the hopefully nearer-than-not future, we will be moving.
As much as I badly want Misty to have a sister and as disappointing as it is to have the ideal timeline disrupted, future miss felony probably exists at least a year, maybe even two, away. Unless some maybe maybes happen. On the brightside, a non-negotiable is a bigger yard/more land, so the pup(s) will be very happy with their zoom space.
#disappointment is such a difficult emotion for me#i really really wanted to get the second pup between misty turning 2 and 3. and now she's about to be 3 and the timing is just not great#focusing on the many many house projects we want to wrap up and the happy thought of a better#and more functional outdoor space for us all#the mosquitos are so bad here that we cant even spend time in the yard#so hopefully a year or so from now we'll be able to hang out outside with pups and they'll have room to run all out if they like#and the chickens will get a big coop upgrade too#anyways anyways#mostly just venting some lack of puppy sadness#also!!! at 1130ish AM a few days ago someone was driving around shooting at dogs outside!!! shocked more by that than everything else tbh#we are supervised backyard or straight into the car only until the police find whoever that is
