I read this before and meant to reply. My other half had major cold feet before we got Fred too. Like zomg it's not the right time, we shouldn't be doing this, what are we doing.... It was horrid. Tears, tantrums the lot!
I couldn't have gone and got Fred if he'd stayed like that, but actually..... He just had cold feet. We talked it through. And we got him, even though it was scary and unbeknown to us, was going to be the hardest year ever.... But it still worked out
he just needed to share how he was feeling, and actually, I'd rather he did that than just pretend it was all ok and he was feeling 100% fine.
Is it too late to chat and change your minds?? Can't you just call the breeder and explain and arrange a later collection? I'm sure they will understand, theyre human
I hope it works out. Tell him my other half would die for Fred now! He'd have sorely regretted it if we never got him.
