It was a week after Jingle passed before I left the house and only then to the grocery store. Holly (poodle) did not cope while I was gone and she dug at her ears until they were bleeding. Even though I didn't think I was ready I knew Holly had to have the companionship, she howled, she cried etc. so I started looking for a new pup. I was scared to death I was doing the wrong thing, but I finally found the right one. It took a couple of weeks for holly to adjust but I instantly fell in love. Presley has brought back laughter in our home and noise as it was so quiet when Jingle died. Presley has also brought Holly out so much as well, she plays and runs like she is a puppy too! I miss Jingle everyday, tears are rolling as I am writing this, I cradle his ern before I go to bed and tell him how much he is missed and how much I love him every night. It is still hard but for me and for little Holly, Presley has been a God send. Babies keep you so busy and Presley is quite active, honestly I don't know if I would have made it through without him. I will pray for you, I do know that hurt in your heart so well. God bless you and without a doubt you are a wonderful mommy! |
I am so sorry about you losing your Jingle in January. Like you, I felt like my heart ripped out and still has a huge hole in it. My heart was beating so fast and the anxiety was too much. I had to for once in my life see my doctor for help with emotional issues. My 6 year old Kaylee seemed to be doing well at first with all the attention, but this is starting week 7 and we just started noticing that she isn't eating as much. I am glad that you got little Presley to help ease all the pain. Sounds like it was the right decision for you. My Kaylee is just definintely not the type that I think would take well to either a puppy or a rescue her age. So for at least now we are just going to concentrate on her.
I thank you for taking your own time to respond to me when I know your heart is still aching from Jingle. If you don't mind me asking, how old was Jingle and how did he pass? My sincerest heartfelt thank you for reaching out to me.
Hope to hear back from you.
