My therapist has a dog. Adorable dog. She loves her so much I get jealous (I know, lame).
I know this because I've seen her since my therapist practices from home.
Anyway, I've googled my therapist extensively (something she doesn't know or maybe suspects) and about 3 months ago, I've found a Facebook page as well as a blog dedicated to the future birth of puppies: my therapist has apparently established herself as a breeder and her dog is expecting puppies.
So the puppies are born now (it's been two weeks): 6 adorable, cute puppies. There's one left apparently that hasn't been reserved yet (I've been spending a lot of time on that FB page!).
I've always wanted a dog. I live in an apartment so may not be ideal but at the same time, it's like the perfect opportunity. He's so ridiculously cute, I love him already.
BUT: if I mention the puppies and her dog, she'll know I've googled her (like a lot) and I'm ashamed and afraid she'll judge me.
I'm worried about ethics: ethically, could she sell me her dog?
I'm also worried that she'll think I'm trying to maintain some sort of contact between us through this puppy. She is super invested in that breeding thing (judging from FB page and blog), she'll surely want to keep in touch with the people who bought her puppies.
And it's true: I want to buy that dog because I love dogs but also this one specifically, because it's hers.
Is it weird? What do you guys think about it? I don't know what to do.
I see her on Wednesday and I should really ask her before someone else reserves the dog.
