So with the Pants dog to Hawaii saga:
I'm really going through an internal struggle right now. Riley stresses out incredibly easy. To the point where his temp will increase three to five degrees just from the stress he gets when going to the vet. So, despite all of the money I've spent for him to come here, I'm really internalizing if I should do it to him. Flying 12 hours like that will potentially be life traumatizing to him. And he's happy with my mom, where he's treated well and has a huge yard to run around with. I almost feel like bringing him here would be completely selfish of me to put him through that just so I've got him, especially when there's a chance he could have to go through it again in a year or two if I were to decide to move.
I know many will think I'm over analyzing this, but I'm sure some of the pet lovers here will understand what I'm going through.
