Day 7 of Grieving for our Dog

Totally Asleep

Just waking up

... and stretch :)

Thought I'd put up a few crazy photos of our Luna. He actually was asleep when I started to take these but as soon as I moved about to get the camera he started to wake up. These really make me smile. So many good memories.

I can't believe where the week has gone. Still feels like yesterday when we lost our Luna dog. I have been trawling the internet looking at dog bereavement blogs/sites and also Rescue dogs. I know I'm still not ready and neither is Lee or my Mum but they think we should offer another dog a home.

I wasn't too bad yesterday, cried in the morning as usual, sniffed and cuddled Luna's blanket again but just can't get motivated to do anything, even the cooking. We are eating but none of us are hungry. Had a good chat with Lee's daughter. The night was a different story, cried as I lay in bed thinking about our Luna and all sorts of crazy thoughts, especially about the Rainbow bridge and how I will get there when our next dog passes. I will be old then and there will be no point sticking around if I am on my own.

We still haven't given up on Ollie the Sprollie. I have asked lots of questions about him and the lady is going to take him out in public and see how he is. She seems so kind. It seems he is a bit over protective and will run at people barking at them and may nip but he would probably be on a lead with us anyway. I would just be happy to be able to walk along the beach with him. I've got a few concerns about him being a cross with a collie and whether we would be able to fill his energy needs and do we really want to, after our crazy mad Luna.  I am not at fit as you and I can't do long walking because of my knees and ankle. Lee is okay but is committed to work too. It's also a quiet home so not sure he would get the stimulus he needs. He did seem lovely and quiet in the kennels but so was Luna until we got him home. He would definitely get all the love and cuddles though. Another worry is the sheep all around us and Llamas. I am so confused. I have messaged her to say all this. I hope she doesn't think I'm a time waster.

It's got on the website about the Labradoodles. Looks like a breeder couldn't find homes so they ended up there :( I guess they didn't want to put the real truth on there.

I think I would be like you and not be able to foster, I couldn't part with any of them. I'm glad you are sharing your experience, not a know it all :)

I don't mind you sharing with people why we weren't at archery but will ask Lee as he might go on Saturday and it could be easier for him if he doesn't have to explain. Will let you know. I don't know if I can go as I am such an open book and will just cry. Crying now just thinking of this situation.

Your girls are so comical :) Truffs is so funny. I will enjoy meeting them eventually.
