I have dealt with the loss a little but I find myself looking at her pictures and even tho its been almost 3 yrs I still cry at times. I went into deep depression over her and had to seek help to keep from doing something stupid to my self. These days generally speaking I smile remembering the love and joy she brought to me and the ex. She was the thing after our kids were all grown that kept us together, but when she passed we fell apart and both of us went into depression. I know how attached they make you feel but we know this will happen and we still take them in because they give so much back to us. You see all the dog pictures I post on facebook these days but as of right now I am still not up to the responsibility of doing it again. Maybe some day in the future! Hang in there my friend! You are not alone. Awards

That being said, then i say this as well. I am a dog lover like you, i have have had loss with my canine family members, heartwrenching to say the least, but i notice she was a rescue dog eh? I too have saved some animals. My point is, if you have the means and the place, best thing you can do to remember and honor her is to repeat step A. Not as a replacement, of course there can never be one. Your bond with her was in part because i think she understood the nature of what you offered her at the time you took her. A better life, and she rewarded you by being just a little bit more for you than others might have been, always remembering what she came from and comparing to what you offered. i firmly believe dogs are smart enough to remember these things that are so traumatic. She lived what looks like a fantastic life, and it is very sad, but you have a chance to offer something similar to another lucky pup. and maybe that gesture might help ease your sense of loss just a little. Good luck bro. Edited June 11, 2013 by billyblade Gatorgirl and Bogleg 2 Awards
