Mindless Chatter Saturday

BEVOLASVEGAS

Today, the daycare that lost her, called him to ask for payment for Thursday. The day that they lost her. He blew up on the phone, & said some things that he probably shouldn't have.

 

Now dont tell me you wouldnt have done the same. Hope he finds her soon.

Both Cher, & Bev got collars for their wins. Brinxx got a jumbo bully stick for her second. She was thrilled to get to chew on it while DS & I worked on reading tonight.

 

Sounds like Brinxx got the better reward! 

Just catching up on a few days' worth of MC, and I wanted to say thanks to Paige for thinking of me, and

Paige, thank you. I feel like nothing will ever be normal, again. Every second of every day, I miss her.

OMG this is so exactly how I feel. It's been just about 3 months, and I feel like I "should" be somewhat "normal" now, and I'm just...not. There's still a huge Cherokee-shaped hole, that I'm starting to figure out will probably never go away. It's not like I want to stop missing her, it's just really hard to miss her so much. It's also really hard to be dogless, but I just really want Cherokee back and I'm afraid that I'll compare a new dog to her, and they'll of course never measure up...and that's not fair to anyone.

I'm just starting to realize how depressed I've actually been for the past 3 months. I don't do the things I used to do...post here, go ANYWHERE but work, talk to anyone, I can't keep my attention on any books or movies, I've barely taken any pictures in months (when I used to have my camera on me most of the time)...all I do is work and watch tv. which is really freaking pathetic. I feel like another dog might help me...it would certainly make me get out of bed, and leave the house more, but I'm really scared of not...loving it like I should? and I can't tell if that's a ridiculous fear or not. Of course it doesn't help that I'm super broke, so it would really probably be irresponsible to get a dog... sigh.

Anyway.. I know I'm not a big mindless chatterer, but I do read it most days, and I'm always thinking of you guys. Guess I'm just in a more lurk-y place recently.

DS#2 & Brinxx placed second in the junior obedience class. This was their first show, & I was amazed by them. DS#2 has been Brinxx's kid since the first time she met him, & it was amazing to watch her work for him today. DS's footwork is terrible, & he was, at moments, totally lost in the routine, but Brinxx stayed with him the entire time, & did everything that he asked of her. By the time they came out of the ring, I was crying. I hate it when I get sappy

That is SO COOL!

Chelsea, fwiw, I have no doubt that you will be able to love another dog.  You probably won't love it in the same way that you loved Cherokee, but that doesn't mean that you won' love it or will love it less than Cherokee.  You'll just love it differently.

 

Kim, Brinxx thought that she got the better prize too!  The collars are 2 Hound Design collars, & are more expensive than what I am willing to spend, so  they were a great prize to me!

 Chelsea, what about fostering?  Then you don't have to worry about any attachment issues since they are just with you until they find their forever home but you'll have the benefits of a dog and you'll be helping another animal or several, all at the same time.  If you get hooked up with a good rescue, many of them will pay for food, vet care, and preventatives so the money issue wouldn't be a bit deal, either.
