Makes me wonder if there is another meaning to the tears question.
Some people who are not coping well with the empty nest, couples that have been unsuccessfully trying for a family, a grandparent that doesn't see their grandchildren enough, occasionally get a pet to channel some of that love want to give. A dog will never replace a child or grandchild, but it does give a small outlet for all the love some people have cooped up.
Or did their daughter with special needs get a service dog that they were on a long waiting list for?
Makes me wonder if the tears didn't mean tears of happiness. OP, were your friends struggling in anyway and they thought you would be overjoyed that they had gotten something fulfilling in their lives to help cope?
Texting wouldn't bother me a bit. It is the new language of today's world.
Cancelling 2.5 weeks out would be a bit annoying, but there is plenty of time to make other plans, so I wouldn't stress over it too much. Especially if it was from a person that I knew played fast and loose with plans. Reminds me of Michael J Fox in The American President
Lewis Rothschild : [in the president's limo called the beast] I tell any girl I'm going out with to assume that all plans are soft until she receives confirmation from me thirty minutes beforehand.
Robin McCall : And they find this romantic?
Lewis Rothschild : Well, I say it with a great deal of charm.
OP here...
Or did their daughter with special needs get a service dog that they were on a long waiting list for? No just a regular dog...
Makes me wonder if the tears didn't mean tears of happiness. OP, were your friends struggling in anyway and they thought you would be overjoyed that they had gotten something fulfilling in their lives to help cope? No... they already have 1 dog so this is a new addition to their family... and they had planned to kennel the dog that they already had... so they could have just kenneled both dogs together...
The texting really is what gets me, and she doesn't like to text more like destest it... I am the one that does all the texting...
