I've got a wee bit of a problem as I find myself logging onto Petfinder.com like a crackhead every other day or so to see if any new setters or dacshunds are listed and available for adoption. My logical brain says "hey crazy lady- 3 dogs and 2 wacky kitties are enough!" Then the addiction takes over and says "C'mon, it's okay to just look...no harm in looking, right?" Next thing you know I am furiously clicking on sad stories of dogs and mapquesting towns in neighboring states to see how far I'd have to drive to go pick up said homeless dog in need. I'm mentally rearranging my family room to add another dog training crate. The high culminates in me saying "I can adopt another dog! He or She NEEDS me! I can make this happen and save this poor creature!!" (pant, pant, pant) As I slowly come down off the bigh I realize that I need to focus on supporting humane groups and giving my 3 pooches and 2 kitties some more time and attention. I walk away from the computer with some sweat on my brow and guilt in my soul.
Admitting it is the first step :-)
