Sorry to hear you lost PITA. Hard to deal with losing a deeply loved friend. Always loved the posts you put up about her.
I decided to have Pita cremated and get her ashes back, she loved a pontoon ride I will give her one last ride. We still have 2 little yappers to keep us company and of course Larry the grand dog, The ice is on the bay and Larry is on constant lookout for the otter he has to let the otter know that he knows and his beller the whole lake knows too.
It has been a few days and to be honest I feel worse, it is so quiet in the house. No more coughing fits, no more anxiety barks the poor damn dog was suffering.
a couple years ago, my best buddy, Missy the black lab, passed away after 15 wonderful years, i swore, no more dogs , also i was in later 60,s ,, this lasted 6 months, I was just so lonely !! I broke down, but looked for a small dog, as i can not go as fast or far as i used to, Found a min pin at a rescue shelter, She had a tough life, police took her away, from that ahole, after 2 years she is the best little buddy !! I still miss Missy, I think of her often, she has a headstone in backyard, BUT I am no longer lonely, and smaller dog was a good choice at this time
Damn little dogs wear you down and win you over. Still have Pita's daughter Gertie she thinks I am the most awesome person ever.
Larry the grand dog is staying with us for a week or so. He is fixated looking out the window waiting for the otter to pop out of the hole in the ice. I have to keep an eye on him so he does not run out on the ice. He bellers every time he sees the otter pop up. Does not work to close the curtains he sticks his head thru.
