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. |

I am a little scared to have a puppy...it's been a long time. Just thinking bout it brings back so many memories of Pox when she was a puppy...she was wild. There were so many things I had forgotten...not too mention I was very young.
I figure the worst part would be chewing and poddy training. Chewing I can work that out. Poddy training...well Pox didn't have much control those last 6-9 months...picking up poo wont be anything new  I have ordered some books so that I can do this right. Somebody mentioned equipment...refresh my memory. Just the idea of having a new little angel to take care of has brought a simple little joy to my life. Thanks for all of your support on this. I seriously think that coming to this site has given me something to look forward to each day. I get very excited to hear from all of you. It is also nice to be able to let my feelings out. I think this is a great place and I am so glad I stumbled upon it. You all have made such a huge impression on me during the most difficult time of my life.
