Thank you so much to everyone for their kind comments, thoughts, & prayers on my loss of my
sweet Baby Dog 1. I can honestly say that making the decision to end her suffering was the most painful and difficult thing I've ever had to do in my life. Even with the wonderful support of my husband, family, and friends - I was pretty much a complete wreck for weeks before putting her to sleep, and weeks after. I can never thank everyone enough for helping me, because I can't imagine how awful it would have been to try to deal with it alone. I will miss and love her forever, and have complete faith that I will see her again one day, when it's my time to go.
Hubby and decided that it would be best to get a new baby girl (Pomeranian) right away. We hoped she would ease a bit of our heartache, and help fill some of the horrible feeling of emptiness and loss. We also didn't want Baby Dog 2 to be suddenly alone, after 14 years of having a sister for a constant companion. I thank God we made the choice to get our new baby. Even with her there to comfort me, the loss I felt was still devastating. I don't know how I would have coped without her.
I still don't know how I'm going to refer to her on LJ, but I wanted to introduce her and post a couple of pics. :)
She weighs 2 lbs 5 oz, and is 3 months (14 weeks) old. :)
Sleeping upside down. :) She's full of energy and loves to play. She'll go full blast until her batteries run out, and then she's instantly asleep. So cute.
Needless to say, we love the little stinker like crazy. (Hubby calls her Stinkerbell, hee) Baby Dog 2 has finally adapted to having this tiny ball of fur chasing her everywhere too. I couldn't be happier with how she's fitting into our little family. :)
