New Boy On The Farm

Hello Folks,
Just wanted to let those who supported me know (and those who don't) that we have a new boy on the farm. We adopted him through Border-Collie Rescue. He's an 18 month old border-collie that was abandoned. He is super with our 4 year old daughter and has wonderful manners in the house. His farm freedom seems to be coming to him as he seems to realize he's not going to be tied up very much. Although he seems to want to sleep outside, I take him in for the nights especially. Do we miss Moyia????? All the time!!!!!!!! We were fortunate to find another great dog in his own way.

Take care, Velma (Moyia's Mom)

Still So Lonely

Hello Folks,

I haven't been here in awhile, I've been hoping some space would help, but no. I'm still desparately lonely for my girl. It's almost six weeks since she was so cruelly taken from us. I still haven't seen or heard from the guy who killed her, and I don't expect to. I'm hoping that I don't see him, but I'm from a small town so eventually our paths will cross. My hope is that I can be self-controlled and not tell him exactly what I think of him.
Anyway, life is going on without Moyia although we desparately miss her. My husband was away for 10 days. It was not a problem getting up earlier and doing his barn work, nor doing the barn checks at night. But it was weird doing that stuff without my girl. Her quiet company was always so reassuring. How I miss her welcoming bark when I would get home!!! Everything is so different without her. I'm still not sleeping properly, I keep waking and listen for her. Even last night as the Easter Bunny was hiding eggs, I thought how we never had to worry about Moyia taking anything like that. She had free rein of the downstairs. Even now she would be beside me while I'm at my desk.
I have a wonderful family who in most part have understood my grief. Moyia was so well behaved and such a major part of our lives which we didn't even realize until she was taken from us. I still feel somewhat disjointed.

I MISS MY MOYIA. Velma (Moyia's Mom)

Devastated

Two days ago, one of my best friends was run over in our yard. I miss her so much and I just wanted to talk to others who understand. Moyia was the best dog, she truly was my sidekick for ten years.My heart aches and my body hurts. She took such good care of us.
