Always interesting how the connection continues on. I'll probably freak people but oh well. My buddy BooBoo hung around for at least 2 weeks after he was physical gone from this earth. He's been gone over 9 months and the dog that lived with him still honors his spot beside the bed and does not sleep there. BooBoo had a hand/paw in bring Daisy into my life. He was old and cranky and I said I would not have another dog, until he had passed on. A year before his passing, a friend took in a rescue sheltie, I said no...can't do it, BooBoo would have a fit. She brought her over anyway and his eyes just lite up when he saw her and he become her proud guardian. Some might say it was just coincidence but BooBoo could be very aggressive towards other dogs most of his life and he chose Daisy. I believe that he knew I couldn't live without another dog here and he was right, my heart hurt so bad, I didn't know how I would make it. Tough old bat that I am...I was crying all the time, and still do when I realize he is not here physically with me. Daisy will never replace BooBoo, she lacks his impish smile and oh so glad your home enthusiasm, but she is a polite little thing and we enjoy each others company.

I think the fact that Spook offer up Lila's name would be enough for me to make sure that little cutie was headed my way.

oww... thats gotta hurt...

I have had dogs from a very young age. For myself, another DIFFERENT dog after a beloved dogs passing on always helped. Not as a replacement of course, just a way to heal.
But only you know if you are ready.

Having the crematory is tough at times. We've met some wonderful people, but it's never easy because we understand their grief. I'm the same way about their cremains, if the owner can't pick them up right away, they will stay with me in my home in the library (on one of the shelves). It all comes back to treating them like we'd want to be treated.

Coyote, I'm sorry for your loss.

Only you know if you're ready. Some people get another dog immediately, while others take years. As everyone else has said, only you know if you're ready to open your heart at this time. She's a beautiful girl. Go with your gut feeling of whether it's the right time or not, and whether she's the right girl for you.

I just knew it was going to be years before I would get another dog after Spook. We barely came out of the house all weekend. We tried out best to spoil the 5 kitties. 2 of them knowing for sure that 1 of them was missing. (Butterscotch and Spook were jealous who got daddy's attention. Bashful could get it and it was no problem. But if Spook got it and Butter didn't she would go beat up on Bashful.)

I was looking at the Aussie rescue site that I work with to see what events may be coming up soon (I need to get my kennel/pads and quilts done) Some how, this little puppy just pop up on a page I wasn't even looking for. Omen? Sign?

I need references to send to them.

Oh my, I just caught on! That face! Well, is she going to own you soon?

If you do get her, what would happen with her deafness, I mean will she be a service dog for you? And how would that work? Gosh she's cute.

 

[verthandi]

I've been wanting to know too? Is she on her way? Come on, can't leave us hanging. My old buddy's brother was deaf, he did fine. The owner used basic sign language with him.

Hi vert! Coyote was haunting the hobby section and she just said she's waiting to hear from the rescue center on Lila. They put in their application and are just waiting for a reply.

I hope they get her.
