I know, after speaking with her doctor when I was more coherent, that Piper was absolutely done; she'd given me her everything and I was there for her when she needed me most. It's just that I wasn't and am not ready for her to be gone. These last couple of days, I'm babysitting my neighbor's chihuahua (we call her the "loaner dog") and she is bringing a bit of joy, but she is skittish and afraid of the dang blowing leaves! Polar opposite of Piper, which I guess is a good thing. However, Sadie is making me believe there may be another little love in my future. I shall keep my eyes and heart open and pray that the Good Lord hooks me up! |
