Heartbroken describes today as I leave a pet store. I knew I shouldn't have entered, but to my curiosity, I did. It was like love at first sight as they say.
I planned to just skim through, but as I passed by, there she was, sitting in her little, white crib with the others. She was adorable like a baby. I, of course, was ecstatic to see one of my favorite breed of dogs. A Teacup Yorkshire. It's as if my whole world stopped and was literally focused on her. I jumped for joy as I also saw my fiancé's excitement. I stood beside her crib admiring her stance, and, as soon as we had eye contact, she walked towards me and stood up leaning against the crib seemingly wanting for me to carry her. I was in total awe. We had that connection and that vibe I personally know that she is the one. I desperately called one of the staff, and the first question I asked was how much she was. As I was caressing her in my arms, my heart was shattered into pieces when the lady said she cost $1,999.00. Questions drew my mind if I should use some money from our wedding savings or not. I looked at my fiance and knew what the answer was. There were definitely no options, but to decline her. I didn't want to let her go! And, surprisingly, she didn't want to let me go. As I put her back down the crib, she again stood up by me and leaned against the crib wanting to come back. With a broken smile, I gave her the final stroke on her head and back. The lady again asked if I'm sure about my decision, but I had no choice.
I was whining like a kid during our trip back home. I was broken hearted and frustrated. I felt like a knife stabbed my fragile heart. I was teary and was unable to concentrate through out the night. At home, I sat beside my fiance explaining how I felt. As I quietly leaned on his shoulder watching the Bulls game, tears were rolling down my eyes. I positively thought to myself, "Regardless of what happened today, I am, 100% sure, buying one someday no matter what."
