I got a pup 4 months after losing my Shelby. Part of my preparation was going through Shelby's old things and washing and sorting. I saved the good stuff and I am glad I did. Ali loves some of the toys that were still "like new" from Shelby. I kept one of Shelby's favorites just for me, the pup can't have that.
I think it's a good step in healing to have a mixture of old and new. I like remembering Shelby, seeing her things played with has been good for me. |
It is going to be around 4 months for me also. And you're right I think it is a good step in healing too a little old and new! I just wasn't sure if the scent would be an issue but I will get everything really clean. I think there are circumstances that it would be great if the dog could use the pads like you say less guilt, inclement weather and traveling. I think I will go washable if I go that route. And although I've got my work cut out for me but I am very excited!
