sad

Just catching up with this again.....did you visit? Was the nasty chap vile? Did you play b****hit bingo and if so who won? And did Rory inflict his own personal pee punishment on him? We want an update!

 

I think he'd been warned he was very deflated not his usual self took great pains to explain he wasn't a racist(yes he is). Never mention Doug once, I think OHs mum has really had ago at him it was a bit strange no vile behaviour at all. Rory behaved perfectly and was the most well behaved dog ever, he was calm lay down and had a nap. i was all a bit of an anti climax really phew!

we didn't stay long though he He

 

I think you can chalk that up as a victory!

 

Yep

 

It good I'm starting to think about Doug as just happy memories all the bad stuff seems to be receeding and all the joy is pushing to the front of my mind. I think i'm learning to cope. phew

 

I'm so sorry for your loss I know how hard it is to lose a such a big part of the family! You did the right thing and he knows that it showed your love for him by being by his side till the end ! It's hard I know ! Just know the memories you created together are yours for a lifetime! As long as you keep him in your heart he will always be with you !

 

Doug woke me up last night, I was asleep amd he touched my foot and hand with his nose like he used to do then I woke up none of the other dogs were not near me and I asked my OH if one of the others had tried to wake me and he said no they've just been asleep to. The human brain is a weird thing it was so real.

 

There are many, many things that can't be explained with totally rational logic or proven beyond doubt and I say that as someone very firmly based in science and engineering.

Some connections are never lost, it was nice of him to visit x

 

Hugs xx

 

Bittersweet moment for you xx

 

That brings tears to my eyes, a wonderful but bittersweet experience.

 

Doug will always be with you xx

 

I think so he's been so important for so many years. He seems to have seeped into me.

 

I know exactly what you mean - I woke up with Billy cuddling me the other night. He's been gone for over five years... but he comes back to visit me sometimes.

 

I wish mine did.

 

Ah I had a cat called cleo that used to sleep on the back of my legs and I used to feel that sometimes after she'd gone....

 

so days are good some days are bad but i'm getting there even the prospect of a new dog isn't such a no no now. I don't think it will happen for a long time but it will happen who knows what will turn up

 

saw a programme about puppies...........oh dear the puppy itch has started
