Have I finally found my friends? (Palmer has crossed over the Bridge)

Just FYI- I added one picture of Palmer and I added the prospective Mom and Dad = schnoodle

I am amazed that it's almost 6 months since Palmer was here.......and how hard it still is. I don't remember anything like this with our first dog, Peaches. I worked all of Peaches' life. I was home with Palmer for most of his life. What a difference.
It's Monday. I'm crying again. It's so hard living without a dog. It's so hard letting a loved one go. I'm not sure which is worse.

Sending you hugs today, Susan.

Hope you can feel them.

Love,

Hi Susan,

Thanks so much for posting more pictures of Palmer. They are adorable and they melted my heart.

Thank you Addy & Glynda. It helped just being able to come in here and express those feelings. I do feel the hug. I'm a big hug fan.....I don't give that many out, I just think a hug that is meaningful, as opposed to those Hollywood hugs, can recharge my battery.

I am feeling better today and am coming around to thinking about Palmer's memorial piece.

STILL no puppy news. I will call before the end of their day if I've heard nothing more by then.

Susan, this is Carole and I am so sorry about Palmer. I lost my Fritz almost a month ago and I am sitting here crying as I write this. I would love for you to email me and we could console one another. . Please Susan let me hear from you as I am so aware of your pain. I too, need a friend to commiserate with as I am still riddled with guilt over the loss of my precious Fritz. I pray I hear from you.

Hey Susan,

I hope this works out for you and you get the perfect little baby! How exciting!

Hugs,
Leslie and the girls - always

Oh Susan,

How exciting!!!!

I have been looking at little ones myself--there were ones born on the day Maddie died--this could be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. We are looking at a different color of Aussie, but the funny thing is as I was looking there was a litter born on Maddie's B-Day and they were all the same coloring as her and then this breeder referred me to the one born on the 8th--a small world...

I am sooooo happy for you---see this day is turning out to be better than it started!!!

I totally agree with Marie!!

Susan, I'll be keeping all fingers crossed that this adoption will work out just as you hope. I know you'd prefer to wait and really have the chance to personally interact with the new pups. However, I will say this -- all three of my dogs ended up being selected by somebody other than us -- and I still fell in love with each one as soon as I held them in my arms and looked into their little faces.

I was actually grateful that I was spared the angst of making a decision myself. I am indecisive, obsessive, and probably one of the biggest second-guessers that the world has ever seen. I'm betting I would have been paralyzed had I actually been placed in the puppy pen and told to pick out the little soul who was going home with us. So I was spared that torture. A dear friend picked out our Cushpup boy from a litter in another state and then arranged to transport him to us (love at first sight ). You've already heard the story of Peg, the little girl who ended up unclaimed by her intended owners and then was given to us (love at first sight ). And Luna was selected for us by her breeder (once again -- love at first sight! ).

So I hope that if it works out that you want a puppy from this litter, things will work out similarly for you -- that the puppy that is placed in your arms will capture your heart from the moment of the first hug.

I'll be awaiting updates anxiously!!
Marianne
