It's been seven weeks since we had to send Hunny to meet Lily. I still miss her so very much. Most of the day is fine, but every once in a while it's just like being hit by a tidal wave. Just a sudden wash of pain and sorrow for both Hunny and Lily. I can't believe it's been 11 months since Lily had to leave. I wish I could see them again. I have them both on a pet memorial site too, but I find it hard to go there since Hunny left. It's such an empty feeling without them, even though we have four other dogs. It's not the same. I wish they could have lived a lot longer. I sure hope these pups live to a ripe old age.
Just having a blue morning I guess. |

It's been 5 weeks since my boy went to Heaven and I, too, have good days and bad days. yesterday was a bad one and I cried alot. Today is a bit better. I agree, it's twice as bad to lose them when they're young. My boy was only 7 when he left me. I have started searching for a new puppy and I am looking for a breeder who focus's on health and longevity as well as temperament. I miss my boy, but I also miss having a dog in the house. Does anyone else feel torn between wanting another and feeling that it's disrepctful to the one I'm grieving for to get another so soon? This emotional tug-of-war with myself is also causing me a lot of sleepless nights. I'll say a prayer for you and wish everyone on this site peace.

Carol Carol, I am feeling the same emotional tug-of-war that you describe. At first I couldn't bear the thought of a new cat. Now I'm starting to think a kitten would cheer me up. It will be nice to have a new pet, but at the same time, I feel like I will never love another the way I loved Sydney, so I will never experience quite the same joy that she brought to my life. That makes me very sad. |

I just keep wondering if I rush into it would I ever love the new puppy like I did Austin or worse yet, constantly compare it to Austin. That wouldn't be fair to the puppy. |
