I’m glad your health is improving, Gail. And all the things that you’ve mentioned that you’re dealing with and going through, I totally get it. Something that happened to me that I’ve never told anyone is that, after Maezie died, I had nightmares every single night for 6 or 7 weeks or so. Just these horrible dreams about death - death of dogs, people, and sometimes I knew them and sometimes I didn’t. I’d always wake up sweating and hard to breathe. I still always flip the switch to turn on the fireplace all the time expecting Maezie to be right in front of it. She liked it really warm. And lots of other things I do, probably out of habit, that relate to how Maezie was a part of my life and the routine we had.

I kinda feel as though I can relate to you a bit about how it’s such a deep pain. I’ve really been taking it really bad. I still end up crying a few days a week. I just can’t help it. And not just some tears but full on weeping. And I’m not a kid I’m a grown man. I guess it’s only been a little over 3 months for me since Maezie died, but it really hasn’t got much better at all and it feels like it might not ever get a whole lot better.

I’m really glad that you’ve been able to get to a point where you’re considering another puppy to bring into your home and life. I envy that a little bit, and I hope one day I can get there cause I sometimes feel like I want that. But really I just want Maezie. My dogs throughout my life, I love them all the same. I really do. And I give my all into each and every dog I’ve ever had. But I do have different bonds with each of them, and the bond I had with Maezie was really special to me. Maybe that’s something similar to what you and Magic had - a special bond with each other that is just something special and rare. It’s kinda hard to articulate but I hope you get what I mean. You mentioned Magic is maybe your heart dog. I’ve heard that phrase before from a couple people when they’ve talked about a particular dog they have or used to have. It’s maybe one of those things that you can’t really define but when you feel it, you feel it. I don’t know. I know for me I’m not emotionally ready yet for another dog, but I hope eventually I’ll get there. I’m so very sorry about the loss of Magic and all the pain that comes with it. I know the pain and the loss can be so very overwhelming.
