We run our own business to, I run the holiday end of it so thankfully my busy season was over, my husband runs the landscape management part and for him it was the kickoff to the start of his busy time, bids etc. For me at that point it would not have mattered if it was busy or not, my whole world stopped, like you there is no way I could have dealt with any of it, I was doing good to get a shower the first few days. My husband was wonderful though, he put his grief aside the best he could, and turned everything business wise over to one of our managers and took care of me and Holly for the first week.

Presley is a lot darker than Jingle was and his bark is deeper, but some of the things he does is just like Jingle, Presley is every bit the alpha Jig was, but he is shy with new people and I think it's sweet, he clings to me when new folks are around, Jig was a social butterfly.

Thanks for that. I need to hear it sometimes from someone else bc I feel like I failed him. He was our foster, and he was a tiny little guy. Supposedly he was picked up as a stray, so he was a tough guy that he could even survive out on his own. He also had a bum leg and when we first got him he was so small and weak he couldn't even get up the curb. He got stronger each day and we were even training him to get stronger and at the time he passed he was able to climb three stairs.
