Am I selfish getting puppies while I am in remission?

Hi! Was in the same position! Had planned to get a dog in 2023 but diagnosis, surgery, chemo and radiation got in the way. Was afraid to move forward but with encouragement from lots of folks (and plan for sister or niece to take over if ever needed) I took the plunge in March and have great standard poodle puppy! Am so glad I have her! Will be honest I still worry about leaving her but the joy she’s brought has helped with stress and worry about a recurrence. Something joyful to focus on. Go fir it and enjoy them!!!

Thank you for sharing that!!! It’s comforting to hear all these stories from you kind people who have held back on various activities due to our cancer and treatments, then had the courage to take the plunge. So important to have in place back up plans for our loved pets if needed. That helps.

Wishing you continuing good health and good times with your poodle 🙏💝 Thank you.
