It's awful to have to welcome you to YT under these circumstances, but you will be so glad you came. I am so sorry you and your family have had so much sorrow to deal with lately. You can't help but fall in love with a tiny puppy, but it takes pretty special people to take an older dog into their home, especially a rescue, who, more than likely never had that love, and give them the security and devotion of a family that they so deserve. You did that with Dexter, and it shows by the way he followed you around everywhere You will find so many wonderful, caring people here that you can turn to for anything. Maybe if your son read some of the threads here, especially the "R.I.P." one, it might help hime deal with his grief. He is at a tough age, and if this is the first time he is dealing with the loss of not 1, but 2 beloved pets, he may be hiding behind the "rock". Let him know it's OK to cry, (I am crying right now) that there are so many tears shed by the people here whenever another little furbaby passes, we could probably fill an ocean. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of Dexter and Honey. Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS))) |
