Thanks, everyone

I can't help but think of what better way to honor my Tykie than to rescue another dog and try to give them the life that Tyke had for 13 years.

It still hurts though. Today I found half a can of his dog food from when we watched him here for my parents and then a whole can and I just sat on the kitchen floor and sobbed. Piglet (the new addition!) came in, sat by me and cocked her head. She put her head in my lap and sighed and just looked up at me and then started giving me those adorable and priceless perky puppy kisses. I couldn't help but smile.

The simple things set me off. Like, once again, the dog food. I feel awful for my Bubba who lost his brother that he knew for six years. He looks up at me with his little eyes and I start crying. I wish I knew if he understood what is going on. I hate the thought of him wondering if he is going to come back. It breaks my heart. He is having trouble with our new puppy but I hope that they will eventually become friends

It took Tyke a long time to get used to Bubba, so I'm not too concerned.

Does it help when you get the ashes back? August 23 they should be back at the animal hospital to be picked up. I don't know if that will help to bring me some closure.

Everyone says that it takes time, but I don't see myself ever NOT missing my baby. I just hurt so much from this. I keep wondering if yanking his leash caused it or if I had taken him to the vet for what we thought was hearing loss would have helped. We look back and realize that maybe he wasn't hard of hearing, he just didn't feel well. He never came to the door to see us anymore. He never woke up every morning perky and ready for breakfast when asked. We all thought he was going hard of hearing. Now we wonder if he wasn't feeling well and maybe taking him to the vet could have helped us. But I suppose questioning yourself is normal when dealing with this.

I miss him so much. I am afraid my husband is going to think I'm weird for being so upset, that's why I come on here and ramble

I know there's people who understand what I am going through...and that helps
