Just seeing this now and wanted to add my condolences to the tragic loss of their children to both Lopsi and Donna. I am so sorry for your losses. I cannot imagine the pain you have been going through but pray you will find some peace and comfort with God's help.
I lost my dear husband 2 1/2 years ago. I think my pups saved my life. They grieved as I did (that was the only time I have heard my Ben actually howl) but they were more resilient and quicker to get back to normal. Then they were there to help me. When I cry, they come to see if they can help and stay to make sure I am curled up with and given a lick or two when needed. They can sense my moods and Ben even tries to entertain me when I am down. He'll bring me a toy and coerce me into playing with him. I have to laugh at his antics and soon I am brought up from the depression once again. My youngest son left for college this past fall, leaving me alone in the house except for my precious pups. They give me reason to get up and going, they make sure I am always greeted when I come through the door, they let me know I am needed and loved. So, for ME -- keeping them is a saving grace. But each person has a different set of corcumstances. I respect that.
You do have another pup and you have family to lean on and that need help from you too. So, I do understand if you find the need to rehome Bogey. I can read the love between the lines of your posts but sometimes, loving so much is what makes us realize we need to look for more for our pet. There are some that require a more active life than others. I just want to let you know I understand you are looking out for him too. Whatever you decide, I support you! And again, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. |
