Thank you all for your kind replies - I think the biggest hurdle for me is to stop thinking about the boy we just lost - seeing another pup in person would help -emailed with a lovely breeder with pups available, but distance was the deterrent and made adoption out of the question - of all the dogs that joined our family thru out the years - the boy we lost was by far the most special to me - the tears will not stop flowing at just the thought of him. Our new little pup is a joy and he is working his way into our hearts rather quickly - yesterday for the first time, our new little pup Cody, cuddled next to me and rested his head on my lap and just looked at me and then fell asleep - I truly believe "our pets" are special gifts to us to travel at our sides along our jouneys in life - I am having a hard time letting go and letting in, but trying. Off to spend some time with Cody - he loves to help me water the flowers!! Thanks again! |
