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 know its not what you want to hear but the grieving process takes a long time and while I am 100% with you all for giving another bundle of joy a new loving home they will be their own little spirit and not a replacement for the pets that have gone.
Having said that time and again people have come on this site and adopted a new furbaby within a relatively short time and been all the happier for it. Only you can know if the time is right. Love Sue -------------------- Jude & Sadie, too well loved to be forgotten
