THANK YOU so much for all of the responses! You all really moved me, and every day it helps a bit. Truffle will never ever ever be forgotten, but trying to focus on the good memories and not regrets about not being there for her at the end. A picture/memory book is definitely in the future (tried to post pictures here, but it keeps saying they are too big, will try to figure out how to make them take up less space to post).
We brought home Thor Bob yesterday (our 8 year old had a huge say in the name). Puppy did nothing but cower under the kitchen table yesterday, shaking and looking unhappy. Today, so far, at least a tad more active. Ive cleaned up 3 pee and 2 poop misses, so at least the bodily functions seem to be going fine. Very hard to adjust to a new critter in the house, trying not to make comparisons, but so far the little dude isn't bringing it like Truffle. Patience, I know. Not my best quality. Breeder swears that in 3 days, we will be raving about our new family member. |
