My Dear Friend,
I sure know what you are saying. I have had a few bad days this week thinking about my Benny and what a unique little dog he was, independent, stubborn, affectionate on his terms and so very LOYAL! He came into my life when my life was not going very well and I so needed a warm, furry friend to stay by my side and Benny did! He knew when I was sad and he never left me alone.
We are picking Shadow up on Saturday and I feel a little guilty in getting another puppy, but I haven't got a lot of years left and I want another furry friend to stand by my side and give me that special love than only a puppy can give.
There is no use in feeling guilty because we all had to make the right decision in the best interests of our dogs. Benny was not going to survive this cancer and it was only going to get worse and leave him with seizures and great distress and he would not have let me live like that, so I owed it to let him go with the dignity with which he had lived every day of his young life. The quotation which I go over and over in my head is:There is a huge hole in my heart where you used to be. I find myself walking around it during the day and falling into it at night. I MISS YOU LIKE HELL!!
Too many tears. God Bless you all for being here for me. I can cry and not feel alone!

Blessings,
Joanne
