I walked out without a puppy for now. I don't know if I'm still grieving for "Scruffy" so much that I'm just not ready yet or what. I can't believe I came home without a puppy. My husband was shocked.
It has been 5 weeks since I lost Scruffy and my world has been turned upside down. |
I am not surprised at all. We do grieve for our pups and sometimes it just is not time to move on.
You will know when you are ready. Don't rush it because you might still be looking for Scruffy in another pup and that can be very difficult. I had a friend do that and it took her so long to bond with the new pup. She almost gave up....but it did work out in the end. During that time, I felt terrible for both of them.
