I have really been pondering the idea of getting a new dog. It hasn't even been a week since I lost Pox, but I feel extremely lonely. I know that through all the hard times, Pox was always there for me. She was the one I leaned on and was who I cried on. She was also the one who I have shared many happy memories with. My boyfriend says it is a good idea...but to wait a month. I have felt so empty inside since she has been gone. I feel like I have no purpose. I had to quit all of my classes because I missed so much school this semester due to caring for my Poxy girl. I have been sleeping allllllll day long. Thinking about a new puppy has been the only thing to really light up my life (other than thinking bout Pox, of course). Frankly, I have nothing that is really driving me to get out of bed. I know depression is part of the grieving process...but a month feels like forever. I know this sounds like it is all about me...but I really think I need somebody to love....somebody tangible...huggable...and I would be such a great mommy to a puppy that needs one. What do you all think?
-------------------- Pox was generally named (when I was 13) because of her spots...ya know "Chicken Pox" but she was also the runt of her litter...which made her "Small Pox"
Pox is and always will be the love of my life. I love you Pox and I know you are waiting for me. Ask Jesus to take you for one of those long walks he would take you on with Dad Pox 4/9/91-10/16/04. |

Well, I can only tell you what I am doing. My Dakota died only 1 week ago yesterday and we have already adopted a new puppy from the humane society. He comes to his new home with us on Monday of next week. We are all excited and feel it will bring some joy back in the house. I know that its different with everyone and you have to do what you think is best. Others on this board have been supportive of my decision. If you feel like you want to give love to another little soul then I think that you should. Do it whenever you feel that the time is right. Some people have said that we have moved too fast getting another puppy so soon. others think its great. I dont think were moving too fast because we are not trying to bring our Dakota back, we just love a house full of pets. My children are older and my daughter will be leaving for college next fall. I plan on just getting more furbabies to fill up my empty nest ! LOL!
I think you should go for it whenever you feel its time. God Bless Cammy |
