I did a dumb thing...

I had a long, long day at work and then went to the local humane society with some blankets and towels I've been saving for them. Then I did a really,really dumb thing. I went over and looked at the available cats/dogs. I bet everyone thought I was nuts because almost every 3rd cat was the same coloring as Dusty and I started choking back the tears. But at some point I realized that all those little souls don't know about my baggage. In fact they might have their own baggage. They just want to be loved and have a warm home. I was happy to see the place so busy and stopped to offer a prayer for every one of them to find a safe/secure home. I guess I'm opening up to the possibility of getting another fur ball when I feel stronger. Still too early, but it's starting to tug at me...so many fur faces with no one to love them back.

When you're ready, you'll find the right furbaby. Until then, all you can do is give yourself time to grieve.

Lady..When my other little guy started going downhill I knew what I needed to do for him and being a Yorkie fan I did look at other yorkies but decided against it.I got a puppy just the opposite of my Giz then I couldnt compare and it isnt this little guys fault that Giz isnt here and he is.He is a pleasant distraction for me and hes so good for Keegan and being that hes a baby he does tug at my heartstrings.He needs me and I need him also so in time I know one will tug at your heart just like Bailey did mine...he doesnt fill the hole Giz left behind...he takes up a different space in my heart..I love my Giz more than anything in the world and I miss him terribly , I rescued Giz from an abusive breeder and Bailey was fortunate to have a good start but hes unsure just as I was when I decided to do this but I know I did the thing...you'll know when its right for you...you'll see some little face and say I need to help him/her..God bless you and you'll be in my thoughts {{{HUGS}}}}}

This is good! When you are ready, the right new friend will come along, and you will take him home with you! In the meantime, be gentle with yourself.
