A dear friend of mine, Don from Writers' Voice sent me the link to a Chihuahua website and through them I found one here in Vegas. The woman home raises Tea Cup Toy Chihuahuas, she has the mother and father there to be seen, and thats a good thing when looking for a new dog. She has two pups, a male and female and I am going over tomorrow to see them. I may come home with the female. Just one dog for me this time however, as this one is and will remain small enough to take with me wherever I go. I have a special made purse just for carrying tiny dogs. I thought I might feel guilty but I just feel excited and hopeful to have a new baby for Mothers Day. Have positive thoughts for me please...thanks!

OMG! After a sleepless night I have decided against looking at the new puppy. I can't stop feeling bad about Reeta and Rosee and am afraid to bring a new baby into the house when I am not myself totally, that wouldn't be fair to her. IT might work out but it might not with me so gloomy and all so for now, at this moment I am thinking NO! I have several other reasons too so it would be best for them to find her a forever home with someone thinking only of her.

Now I'm sure by now you're all sick of my p///ing and moaning, and with good reason so I promise not to mention the girls or my feelings about them again. Enough is enough, and you've been more than generous with your patience. So saying NO to a new pup, at least for now thats how I am feeling... Have a wonderful weekend...

I can understand you changing your mind. I agree, it's better to make decisions like that when you aren't mourning.

Chatty, when the time is right, you'll know. And I'm here if you want to talk about it. Sometimes talking (or writing) helps work through the grief.

Didn't go today. Just going to take it slow and thanks Yonuh and all others who shared my grief. I believe God will tell me when he's ready.

Chatty, I think you did the right thing. Our hearts speak to us if we dare listen. I ran to get another boxer after my beloved Trixie died. You cannot fill the hole left in your heart by trying to replace the one you lost. That was my lesson.

Dolly was a cuties, but she came from an aggressive stock and I was mislead by the owners about the mom/dad of Dolly. So it never worked out and I ended up feeling worse. Dolly now has a home where she "fits," and I have a cat that just showed up one day. Miss Kitty rules the roost here. (creative with the name, wasn't I?)

I WILL have another boxer. When the time is right.

You WILL have another love, when your heart says, it's time.

Be gentle with yourself in the meantime.

I know exactly how you are feeling Chatty...my husband insisted that we find another puppy after Zeke died in January..we went online and found several breeders..I called a couple of them and they all sent me videos of their litters...I bit the bullet and put a deposit on a little cutie...but as the time drew near to pick him up I began to panic..what was I doing? No one could replace Zekie...but I had put a sizeable deposit on the new puppy which was non refunadable...apparently most people change their minds when the time draws near...so Ray and I went to get him...and I was certain that I would be calling my oldest daughter and surprising her with a new cocker spaniel puppy...but the little guy stole my heart...and I have such a sense of peace about Zekie..I know in my heart he didn't want me to be sad and missing him so much...while I still think of him and miss him every day, I know longer feel that stabbing pain in my heart when I think of him..and I have the sweetest little puppyboy sitting beside me licking my hand as I type you this post...I hope you allow yourself the luxury of loving another puppy my Friend...you deserve that and so much more....
