Thanks @Cath

Christmas was a good distraction with my granddaughter who certainly kept me on my toes. We took Harley with us which helped.

I went for a walk with my friend and her dogs yesterday which was good and we were able to talk about the paths Harley took in the woods which was nice.

There is a huge hole in my heart and a void missing from my every day life. I’m trying to find my new ‘normal’ which is tough going, especially as I mainly work from home. I am taking it a day at a time.

I do feel for you it is so hard trying to come to terms with loosing Harley. It is good that you could talk about her on your walk. Take care.

Be kind to yourself Ternaya x

It is so difficult, we miss Casper so much, even with 6 loopy labradors, there is still a huge Casper sized hole in our hearts. When I told Benson we had lost Harley, his head whipped around looking for her, made me cry. She was such a beautiful soul, who taught Benson how to not only play with tennis balls, but the importance of sharing, by squidging one to the side of her mouth. Until that point, the concept of sharing had been rather alien to Benson.

How are you @Naya

 

[JES72]

Have been thinking of you too.

 

[Naya]

Thanks for asking @Cath
I am still taking it day by day. Our house seems so quiet and empty still. I went out with my dog Walker about a week ago and broke down. It was just hard not having Harley there with me. He’s offered since for me to go out with him, but I can’t bring myself to go again. Harley really was my best friend and I never realised how much she helped me physically as well as mentally.
We have discussed having another dog at some stage, but not yet.
I am having her paw print tattoo done this Wednesday.

I think you'll know when the time is right to bring another dog into your life. He/she will never be a replacement for your lovely Harley, but another dog to follow in her pawprints and benefit just as much as Harley did from all the love and kindness that you have to give. Thinking of you and sending love and
Pee Ess, Joy asks me to send gentle wags and licks too.

So sad for you @Naya, dogs really are our soulmates. You may remember Rourke was put to sleep on August 12th and by a very strange turn of events, I found myself taking a 7 month old home a few days later. I don't know how it happened. It was a disaster to start with but now she is my companion and has quietened the pain in my heart. When you feel ready it will help.

 

[Cath]

Take your time @Naya there is no rush. Hope your paw print tattoo goes well for you on Wednesday.
Don't forget we are always here for you

 

[Granca]

You’ll know when the time is right, @Naya. Each person and each dog is different. Still thinking of you.

 

[MellowYellow]

Sending you lots of hugs Naya. We understand what you are going through. xxx

[Beanwood]

Oh Naya I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. Take life a day at a time. It has been nearly a year since we lost Casper, we still feel that ache of loss. But we can now smile when we remember his quirks, and he had lots of them! We have a dog in class that even has a bottom waggle like Casper, and Marcus gave him extra special attention ( and probably treats!!) because he was so much like him!

Have you had your tattoo done today? X

 

[Naya]

Had my tattoo today . It was done by a young lady called Harley. She had met my Harley years ago when I worked with her mum. I’m really happy with it.

[jazzmynn]

That is sooo special. Well done.

 

[Beanwood]

Beautiful! It looks like Harley is just gently pressing your leg...

 

[HAH]

That’s beautiful, Naya. I love how natural it looks - she really is always with you x
