My New Dog

[Sandra_G]

Hi All....I am sorry that  I have not been in here. I have a new dog & I am giving her all my time...for now. lol  She is a YorkiePoo & a little doll. I lost my Julie in March & I am still devastated. It was/is awful.
My new baby Miss Chanel, just came my way & I took her, with hesitation. Now I know that it was the best thing that I ever did. There is light at the end of a deep dark tunnel. I don't cry as much anymore.. She'll never take Julie's place. I just love Chanel for who she is &  I have Chanel to light up my life again. She is a 7.5 lb fun & crazy doll & thats the best medicine of all.
For all of you who lost your fur baby,  please open your heart again. It's well worth it.

Hi Ginger...I must tell you that I did NOT want another dog. . It was/is awful losing Julie. I thought that I may not get another dog again.
Chanel came to us just by chance. Someone knew the rescue woman in Arkansas & showed me Chanel's picture. I fell in love. lol
Than I called the woman & she told me all positive things about Chanel.  After a week, I decided to go for it. All I ever did was cry for Julie..all the time. It was wearing us out. I made a good decision getting Chanel. Julie will always be in our hearts..we made a little Memorial in a room here for Julie, along with her ashes. I like having Julie with us. That may sound erie, yet it is comforting in a big way.
She is with us again in spirit & through Chanel....only kidding. lol
They r nothing alike & thats okay too. Take care Ginger..

Thanks to you others who wrote..we share alot huh. I appreciate it.

I'm so glad you decided to give another puppy the great life you gave Julie.  I lost Mollie the same way you did Julie, but still have an eleven year old border colie/lab who is in great shape and I pray stays that way.  Good luck with your new puppy, I'm sure shes keeping you very busy.

Oh wow! What a beautiful little pup!
I know by experience that there is only ever one thing that heals the pain of loss of a beloved dog. And it can be the hardest thing to do. That is, take another dog under your wing. My Misty is the only healing I could have found for the loss of my other dog, though for 2 years I wasn't ready to get another dog in. The timing wasn't right. And timing depends on who you are, and how you grieve.

Your lovely Miss Chanel will be a very lucky girl indeed to belong to your household!

Hi Sandra...I followed Julie's case since the beginning....I'm sorry for your loss.....But, I'm VERY excited about your new love....Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I also love her Yorkie friend in your profile! You should keep her, too.  I'm telling you, two are better than one!  
I've been through what you have and I know the heartache. Not just the loss, but also the battle leading to the loss. I swore that I would never be dogless again, so I adopted one  (apricot male poodle), exactly a month after I lost my Spike (Also, a tiny black poodle). Then 10 mos. later, adopted a  white female poodle mix.
Now, my plan was working; if something happened to one, I'd still have the other. ;)
Then came the sickest little, senior poodle from a shelter. They had already pulled the shringe to euthanize him. My timing was perfect and I brought him home to die here. He was to only last a few weeks because of age and illness. He made it 2 yrs. and 10mos. He is the one pictured and I do not have the heart to take it down....I loved him so.....
Before he past, I adopted a severely abused 4 yr. old Bichon. He is still a work in progress!!!  ;)  One month later, my husband had emergency Open Heart Surgery at the age of 52.....It's been wild ever since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would I change any of my dog decisions??? Not a chance!!!! Remember, I will NEVER be completely dogless, again!  This all started over the Loss of one tiny, black 12yr. old poodle named "Spike"!
Word of warning: Be Careful!!!!!!!!!!   ;)  I'm Sooooo happy for you,  Sincerely, Karla
