Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

All I can say if those pups are lucky enough to find a mama like you, then they will forever be grateful! Sometimes being able to give and receive love again helps the heart heel...perhaps this is a sign from Buddy letting his mama know she has too much love to keep just to herself ;)

A yorky poo, sounds different.

I feel blessed to have Tia's brother still with me and he has helped me. So if you want to go see them, then I think that's great.

Big hug

Oh Kathy, visiting puppies trumps fireworks any day!!!! :) :) :)

It isn't going to happen. I posted that last message before I finished it. The puppies are both females. One of them is a runt which I would not want because they often have health problems. I would name her Rosebud after my Buddy. But, it's dreaming only. It has only been two days and I know there's no way I can convince the folks to go along with this. I don't need them adding more pressure right now. It's hard to stay afloat as it is.

Sorry babe. Sending you some more hugs. Again wish it was a real one

Kathy:
I know you are all over the place with your thinking now, but I think this might just help you through this rough time. The Rosebud part made my eyes well up thinking of Buddy. This would keep you busy and not thinking sad thoughts. I know Buddy would want you to be happy, and if these pups need someone there isn't a better mom they could get. I support you in whatever helps you through this. I think you are doing a wonderful job at putting one foot in front of the other, and forging on. You are giving it your all, just as you gave Buddy your all. God Bless you. Do what your heart tells you to do. I hope I can be as gracious as you when I need to be.

I dont think there is a mandated time limit- two days, two weeks, two months-sweetie, you follow your heart; sometimes things happen for a reason. It is all about what is best for you and that is what Buddy would want as well, what is best for you.:):)

Maybe it isn't about you finding Rosebud but rather Rosebud finding you. Things happen for a reason they say. Your call Kathy. Happy 4th. Kim

Just nipping into say night. I have to get up early so will be back to see if you are on later

Tight hug to you Kathy

Awww Kathy, I know your emotions are all over the place, just like I imagine that your parents emotions are all over the place too. If you want to go visit the puppies, (two sounds divine, I wish I'd done that) then take your parents or one of them with you. My parents could never say no to puppies or kittens once they saw them. LOL

You know after Tasha died, it took me a year before I found Molly via a rescue. Oh I think I was ready before, but I had to convince hubby who thought he wasn't a dog guy. (duh, he was sooo wrong). I have however, Never wanted another cat after Tipsy, he was my everything. Yet, I have had pets pass away and within a week had more running around the house. You just don't know what life brings to your doorstep and they were always, except for Tasha, rescues that just needed a home. How could I say no.

I don't think it made a bit of difference how long I waited, grief takes it's own time. Sometimes I was still sad, but there was nothing like having another little one in the house who needed attention, and who would play and be dorky, to make me smile through the tears and I found that the tears started to come less often. That I would laugh and think of something that Tasha did or Divinity and while a pang of sadness might come, the tears didn't always.
I don't think there are set rules for the heart. I think a heart as open and loving as yours will tell you when or if and how you open the door of it to other little ones.
So whatever you do or don't do. It is what is going to be what is right for you today, now. Tomorrow may be different. Who knows. :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
