It hurts more than helps sometimes. When we first got him, 8weeks, he was so little and depended on me so much, and all I saw was NOT BUTTONS. I would break down and cry sooo much when he first came.
Ziggy is turning out to be NOTHING like Buttons. Buttons was laid back and ready to do anything with me. Ziggy is more independent. What do you expect when you get an Aquarius?  Here's something cool about Ziggy though, he was born on my birthday. I like to think that when I picked Buttons up and we blew out my candles, Ziggy was being born, my new little partner. Maybe that's what Buttons was wishing for when we blew out the candles. |
I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. It really is one of those things that just takes acceptance, patience and time to get over.
I absolutely love your thinking regarding Buttons and the candles.
