I lost my 2.5yr old lh mini dachshund, Sophie in March, the day before my bday and it was a tragedy. I still break down when I see a dog similar to her or any lh dachshund for that matter...She was my princess, I am 25 and she was my kid....I still am grieving but I took the plunge and got my Kingston in May, I work full-time and attend grad school and literally my only time frame to get a puppy was May-July, so I got Kingston in May, and the plus side is he goes to work with me when I have slow days so it's really nice...He now is close to 18wks and such a ham. I still am grieving and I know that I am on guard as to letting him fully in, I have only taken pics when I first got him and thats all I have...I think you just learn to deal with the lose and it never fully goes away, just that with time it will heal the wounds. I don't know when I will be ready for another for now one is nice/being able to take everywhere and only worrying about Kingston |
