Janey Options

Sorry, guys, I'm new at this. I accidentally posted my message under someone else's topic. I lost my girl, Janey, and feel more like I lost myself.

Thanks to everyone - Tears stream down my face when I read your replies. Seeing her name on the page, knowing that someone else is typing it and thinking of her, somehow has a dramatic effect on me. She was mine for so long, and now that she's gone I'm sharing her with other people.

Tory - you expressed exactly what I feel. Janey was MINE. She loved my husband, and he loved her, but she was MINE. She knew that I was her mother, never replaceable by anyone. I read a book last week that said that dogs always remember the person that loved them FIRST. I want another dog, but I have alot of trouble accepting that this dog will have to be ours. We'll have to decide on it together. It will love both of us equally. At this point, that's not acceptable to me. Maybe when the pain isn't so great, I'll be better with that idea.

Toonie - you mean I will clean again at some point? cook? do laundry? Everything is out of necessity right now. Thanks for making me feel normal under the cri%%stances.

Thank you to John B. for making me realize that I'm an idiot. Well, maybe not an idiot, but that I was SO covering up my emotions. I'm so much more emotional about her now, but on some level, I feel better.

I wish I could post a picture for you all to see, but I'm not sure how at this point. My Janey was beautiful. A black lab mix with an expressive face and a glowing coat. I am so proud of her.
