An Unhealthy Dog Obsession: Part 2

So I have told you all about Elsa, there has recently been another dog in my life for the past 4 months up until just over two weeks ago. Wrigley, a pointer crossbreed was advertised as free to a good home on a pet advertising site. I saw this gorgeous specimen and HAD to have him. I called his owner and ended up travelling all day on 5 trains and in 3 taxis, I was so worried with him being advertised for free that he would end up being used for dog baiting. As soon as I met him I was smitten. Him and Ben have been great friends for the past 4 months, I initially had my reservations as Wrigley was an intact male (not castrated) but Ben surprised me and they were playing within ten minutes of being introduced. My plan was to see how it went with Wrigley and Ben and take it from there I just wanted to ensure this amazing dog was safe. I had made the decision to keep Wrigley after a few weeks but unfortunately he developed separation anxiety and became quite destructive and stressed in the house alone. I was using dog daycare services which got very expensive. Therefore I made the tough decision to rehome him. He is now living on a farm with two Dalmatians and reports are great from his new owner. I made the 6 hour round trip to see his new home and meet his owner  and I was very pleased to let them adopt.   It feels like its been so much longer than 2 weeks and I miss him terribly but my focus is purely Ben now and that's how it should be, it's how it should have always been. My need to have a 'normal' dog overtook any common sense.
