My best friend is fading away.

[Laurelin]

23. I am so very sorry

My (tenth) dog died in February. It was the first time in my adult life I didn't have a dog. I didn't mean to get another one but I was just so sad and lost. I lost three people shortly after losing my dog, and my senior cat was also dying. Anyway I got a puppy. She is one of the most difficult puppies I have ever had. I'm really struggling with her.... but I'm not heartbroken anymore. Crazy, demented, exhausted, and injured ( she's strong! ) but not depressed.

There are other rescue dogs, or cats, or rabbits, or whatever you can cope with, that need a good home.

There are also really good people in the world. You need human friends too. Do what you can to reach out, find good people. Maybe volunteer at an animal shelter since you are full of love yourself.

Take good care of yourself. You're having a horrible time but it will pass, and if you keep your heart open, other people and animals will walk with you. Also stay here and let us know how you're doing.
