Well, I'm having a bad day today. I have a picture of my puppy on my PC and although it's sad to see him, I can't remove it. I still miss him and I don't know if I should try to get another dog or not. It will be hard to find one close to his personality and uniqueness. I want to find another catahoula as close to his coloring and nature as possible. I am trying not to obsess about him but he is on my mind most of the time. I am dealing with it better but I am still so sad. The main thing I looked forward to every day is gone. I am trying to give my daughter space because I have been really dependent on her and she has been pulling away so I have to deal with this in my own way. I'm just a little down and thought I'd reach out to see if anyone has any advice.
i know how you feel. i moved sam's collar to put on a shelf by his ball and i completely lost it. although its been over a month, the hurt is still there. i too want to get another dog but i'm waiting for the right time. we are all still undecided on what kind though. i think another lab might be too painful. i really miss coming home from work at night and theres no one to greet me at the door. it just seems so quiet. we all try not to talk about it, but i know he's always in our thoughts. we only had 2 short years with him, but it seems like he was always here.
