I am very sorry for you loss. I recently lost my best friend in the world, my sweet baby girl, Beulah, just after her
third birthday. Bloat took her, and it took her fast. My brother was watching her as I went to work, and after just two
hours phoned me saying she was not doing so well. I left work immediately, and rushed home to take her to the
emergency vet. To my utter shock she had passed moments before I arrived home.
It was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. I continuously cried for days. I still cry myself to sleep, and
cannot sleep in my bed without her. A lot of people cannot understand the bond we create with these wonderful
animals, and how painful the loss is, and how much we suffer. And as is true with all things.. in time it does get better.
The power of positive thinking is amazing. I continue to remind myself of the great life that she had, even with how
short it was.
I tossed around the thought of getting a new dog, but didn't know how I would handle it. I think of it in terms of
providing love and affection and an amazing life to another dog, and not replacing the one who passed, because
that will never happen.
For weeks now I have been getting used to the thought of getting another weim puppy. Because I know I wouldn't
feel rright with any other breed. I'm picking her up on friday.
Even though I still love Beulah with all my heart, and I will never forget her... it doesn't mean I cannot have love for this
puppy. I know that it will be very emotional at first... but it will be worth it. I know I'm making the right decision.
I hope you find what is best for you. Best wishes.
