 Wow!!!
You ALL are SO very nice and thoughtful, and I can't begin to tell you how much it has helped, reading all of your replies! It feels so good to be able to "talk" to people that actually understand! My husband and my son understand my pain and are very supportive and the rest of my family is, too, for the most part, but they don't understand completely....only people like my friends here can understand....people that are dedicated enough to belong to a site like this for mere conversation and chit chat about our "babies"!
I would like to say that I have in no way even implied to my son that it was his fault! I have said over and over again that it's mine....I'm the parent!! But, he told me last night when we talked that he wishes he had done things differently....not just about THAT night but a lot of things! He said he'd like to get a new lab puppy and start all over again....training, etc. but I told him I can't handle it....not this soon! He totally understands, which makes me feel better! The thought of getting another one makes me feel guilty, like I'm betraying Lexy, and I cannot even begin to think of feeling that!
It has definitely made me take on a whole new relationship with Harley & Drake....that's for sure! Like many of you said, everything happens for a reason, and I believe that as well!
I would like to thank each and every one of you for kind thoughts, words, prayers, etc.! You have NO idea how much they have all meant to me! Most of all, I'd like to thank you for understanding! May God bless you all and your "babies", too!
