i put a deposit down on a dog , but it died before i could pick it up . i was so sad . that 's pretty heavy . i hope that does n't discourage you from trying again in the future , especially with a rescue dog or something in that area . if you do n't mind me asking , what happened ? it got distemper and could n't shake it . i will buy another one some day . i think i need a little time though . i had never heard of that before . that sounds like tragic timing . and you 're right , i probably should n't have brought up getting another one so soon , it just sounded like you 'd be a good owner , since you seem like you care so much . it makes sense for you to not rush right back into it .
The death of the puppy before being able to take it home caused the feeling of devastation.
