Alright I am sucking at getting on here regularly… and I apologize for that. This month is hectic at work and things have been tough. First off… my family lost our dog. We had two, but we lost the first one (Penny) last August, and we just lost the other one on the 4th of July weekend. It’s a funny thing really, because we got this pup 10 years ago… on 4th of July weekend, which is why we named him “Patriot.”
He was a family dog, but after Penny died he became particularly attached to me, getting anxious when I left. So I took it really hard when we put him down too. I’m the kind of person that dwells on the stuff that really bothers them, so my mom knew exactly what was going on and knew how to make me feel better to not dwell on losing Patriot. Puppies.
She was already browsing for puppies to get, and when she found a local breeder, we all went and she picked one. We went home browsing names for her… and once we chose one, we got to visit again a couple times and I fell in love with one of her brothers. So I’m getting him now too 🙂 They are only 5 weeks old now, so I still have time to move on from Patriot, while preparing for my new buddy.
I understand that the new pup will not be replacing Patriot, because no dog can be exactly the same. But I know he’s in a better place now, and no longer in the pain he was in… as well as being with Penny now. But he knows I loved him, and he would want me to move on, to love another puppy.
