I was sitting there outside, looking but not seeing.There's a storm in my heart.My baby Shaggy is inside the vet's clinic and he is not doing good.He was given a 50-50 chance, but i don't want to admit it.
Then the vet came near me and shook his head. No words coming out from my mouth, but there's a lot of noise in my soul and my heart is screaming.
Then it's starting to sink in. Slowly,reality is shaking my consciousness. And i cried, bitterly that i almost feel i am loosing my breath and will be gone anytime.But i have to drive home and tell my kids the bad news. My tears were falling and it have cause poor visibility.But who cares! I want to die anyway.
Missing Shaggy was a torment that i wished would end or is not really happening.Everywhere i look, i see him. I hear his footsteps. I can feel his breath in my ears. And it is killing me and keep asking why did it happen.
And in the midst of my agony, i promised myself i won't love a dog again.Never!
Two days have passed my , and my eyes are swollen, i don't want to eat,all i do i stay in my bed and wallow on my misery.
Then it hit me...I had that strong desire to look into his eyes. And i have this strong desire to look into the eyes of another dog.I felt it would somehow comfort me.
I decided to buy a puppy!
So i got up, got dressed and went to the city , on to that strip where all the pet shops are. A black terrier puppy caught my attention. Why? the puppy was walking all over the other puppies, stepping in their backs or heads.That was cute. A black puppy with white paws that looks like socks and a white patch in the breast that looks like a bib.
Shaggay was tagged Sold!
And I brought her home and hope to surprise my depressed kids. Lo..when they opened the gate and saw Shaggay, I can never forget how their faces brightened as I am smiling myself.
Shagay healed our broken hearts and soothe our broken soul. She died too a few years after, but I know what to do already after her death.And I let go of her not crying so hard as when i did with Shaggy.That's the way she would have wanted it for that's how much she loves me.
So when a dog breaks your heart. buy another one.
It works, try it.

I totaly agree with you.
Only another dog can heal a heart broken by the lost of a dear dog.
I've been through this and I can say that from the moment Binne entered into our lives, we start smiling again, after 6 weeks of tears. Her boisterousness kept us busy and made us forget the suffering from the last year.
Yet, my beloved Nera will never be forgotten, I'll always carry her in my heart. She was my first dog and I had her by my side for 13 years.

It is not too hard to get attached to a dog. Our current dog (puppy) we have had since 1 week old. It will be so hard someday if we lose him.
