Thanks everyone for the wonderful wishes. I didn't think there could be anymore tears and I came across a picture on my camera that I had took of Lady two weeks ago and here came the darn tears again. It is getting easier to talk about her to people without making a fool out of myself. She was such a great dog and loved very much. Now I'm waiting on my litte "Cuddles" who is 15 to pass too. She's the Bichon Frise. She's a precious little dog too. She got her name because she always liked to cuddle under my neck when she was younger. She's getting so old, she can't hear, can't see very well, can hardly walk because of an earlier hip surgery, her hair is falling out but she still eats and drinks and loves treats. She finally quit looking for Lady all over the house. For a couple of days she would go from room to room looking for her, it was so sad. She would even go to the garage door going out of the kitchen and dig on it wanting Lady to come in.
We will all heal with time, and there will be another dog in my life. I just can't live without my furry friends. We would like to travel to Texas to see some friends for a week and then we've talked about an Alaskan Cruise. We couldn't go before because I didn't want to leave Lady or Cuddles. I've got an indoor cat too but he basically can take care of himself.
Thanks again friends. You are the best! !
