I haven't been around in a while, and I've been quite hurt the past couple days...then I remembered how much great help I've gotten here.
I've been away b/c internet didn't work for a couple months...
so...i REALLLLLY want a doggy. But, my apt. doesn't allow them, and one of my roommates is really weird and doesn't like dogs "licking themselves" or "breathing loud", although she loves dogs and volunteers at the local pound. My other roommate is "scared" of dogs, but I think she'd be ok w/ a smaller one (which is what I want).
T (bless his heart!!!) said he'd write a note for my doggy to be an "emotional support animal" which he said he's done before for ppl w/o problems. But i still have the roommate problem. She almost made me cry the other day b/c i told her i know she didn't want one, but not to be surprised if i brought one home....She said "ok rose"...so i thought it was ok...but turns out she was being sarcastic b/c later she yelled at me and was like "You are NOT bringing a dog here." She understands i want one sooo bad, but she thinks her problems are worse or something...she also doesn't think i would take care of it, which is nonsense.
Every time i see somebody walking a dog, i almost start crying b/c it's not fair that i can't have that kind of love/companionship that can only come from a doggy.
And yesterday my boyfriend snapped at me about being sick of me always talking about dogs...I started crying hysterically for at least 30 mins....it ws pretty bad.
I feel like everybody is against me being happy. I don't know what to do.
I wish emotional support animals were allowed to go everywhere like "service dogs."
I don't know if the world is telling me i shouldn't get one or what....I don't know what to do. Please help
