i don't know if i should see the dog we adopted away

[hillkill]

so we had this dog for about 9 years, and we had to give him up in october. we got the news he was finally adopted last week, and we found his new owners and she said we could visit him anytime. one side of me says i should see him, and one says i shouldn't because it'll bring back the emotional pain from when we had to give him up. what do you think i should do?

The family probably doesn't want you to come see him.

When I adopted my dog, I overheard the families daughter say, "when's gunner coming home from vacation."

If I saw her I would feel guilty as forget. Their family will probably feel guilty as forget too.

I would go because you'd be able to see your dog being cared for and happy, which you will always have in your mind whenever you think of it.

they know our situation, we talked to them on the phone. if they didn't want us to see him, why would they say "he's been really sad lately, he could probably cheer up if he saw you".

It's more of an "I'm doing this to be humane" thing. They want you to come but they don't REALLY want you to come (At least, this would be my case).

Or- now hear me out - they aren't actually lying and they are actually fine with them seeing the dog.

quickest way to look like a handicap: tell other people to relax when they seem as or more chill than you
