The Dog Whisperer

Getting over the loss of a pet is difficult!  You get use to their quarks and deal with them daily then they are gone.  Coming across their "things" puts a damper on the day.   Feeding one dog instead of two.  These are all almost daily reminders of what you've lost, but one of the hardest things to see is poor Morgan who is probably the most upset of all of us!  There for a while she did nothing but lay around and sleep.  She wasn't eating very much either.  She refuses to go to the kennel now and I can't really blame her. 

We have been talking about getting another dog so that she will have a companion again, but at the same time the loss of Rex is still so fresh!  I wish I could speak to my dog...  I would ask her if she is ready for a puppy to enter the house.  I'd ask her is she would rather we brought home a full grown dog or if she is starting to like being the only dog.  We have been really spoiling her lately. :-)

If we are going to get a puppy it needs to be within the next month or we need to wait until next spring.  I cannot imagine dealing with potty training a puppy, playing with a 2 year old, and establishing a routine with baby Brooklyn all at the same time!  No way is that scenario happening!  We've been looking at puppies online and are going to check some out this weekend.  I guess we will get a feel for what to do then.  Though really, lets not kid ourselves, who can really resist a puppy??  Especially a cute boxer puppy!
