I just can't seem to figure out how to do this posting thing. I guess just keep trying. It's a week now since Roxy was put to sleep. I have her picture beside me and I just can't believe how much I miss her. She was like a person to me, we shared such a close bond. My arms ache wanting to cuddle my girl. She was just so darling to me. Buck is coming around a little bit, but it kills me to watch him want to go out for a pee, I open the door, and he looks back over both shoulders wondering his best buddy is. We have searched US and Canada for a new pom, and I think we have found one for late next week. A little black and white pom that is very very different from Roxy because I don't want to compare. I wonder if my heart is okay to really love another one. I hope so. Buck needs an active little friend to get him out of the depression that I am sure he is having. Just please let me be able to love a new little boy. I got Buck a week after my first love Merle was killed, and to be honest, I love him, but never bonded the way Roxy and I did. I saw her visit my work in a crate, and fell in love instantly and knew, just knew somehow, that she would be mine. Sure enough, a month later the people who owned her, (And did not treat her very well) had to move and asked me to take her. Oh man I was over the moon, she was mine at last. And I treasured her for the next l4 years, and I can look back and take comfort in the fact that she was out of that home, and her life was wonderful, I mean great. She was so loved here. This is a great site and I read all the posts, just feel like an idiot cause I am not getting the hang of it. I believe this will be a new post, can't find the posts I did earlier. Anyway, it is so nice seeing how much all you people really treasured your pets, I wish all our four legged friends could find homes as loving as ours and that animal cruelty did not exist.

Hi..I just read your new topic here and saw you had trouble finding one you already had so I just brought it up to the top and tried to help you find your topics and also how to do replies because you mentioned that also.

I think you will do fine with your new friend. I am glad you found one. They never replace the ones we lost as that is impossible to do..but..they do provide the distraction that can help us get through the pain and since, as others have pointed out...these babies live in the moment....well, that's why they do keep us busy and we can use that right now. Sounds like Buck could use a 4-legged friend right now too.

Your new one will help you create some new memories that you and your family, including Buck..will share together. You will never forget Roxy and will miss her forever but these new friends can help us realize we must accept we can't go back in time and so we go forward...usually with baby steps and because of our sweetheart's teaching us that unconditional love...we open our heart and home to another who needs that and we miss being needed.

Have you thought of a name for your new boy?

Hugs to you and your family..including Buck...your Angel Roxy....and the new boy who is so lucky you found him....and just maybe....there was a guidance from Roxy..in finding him. Who's to say there wasn't?

i'm so sorry for your loss of Roxy and Merle. you gave them great loving homes. every bond we have with a loved pet is different. i know you will love your new dog too. your angels doggies will be proud of you for giving love and a great life to a new dog in their memory. i wish you and buck the best. i know how hard it is for us and the bestfriend pets of those who have passed.

with love corina and her angels
