I am getting a new puppy on Friday. I am very excited. However, my fear of rabies is creeping back up. Puppies can’t be vaccinated against it until a certain age and it wouldn’t meet that age threshold when I get it. My mind is racing thinking “what if it got bit by something and the owner didn’t know” “what if they let the puppies run free and do not watch them” etc. The puppy licks me… I’ll have the virus. Something I should be enjoying is getting taken away because of my mind.
