OT: Scooter's gone
Eileen,
I have not been online all week, as we had a bankruptcy filing yesterday and I am trying to catch up on what all I missed. . .
Having lost my dear Dillinger, I know the heartbreak of losing a four legged family member and the empty place that is left when they are gone, no matter the events leading up to making that decision, it is one of the hardest things I had to do and even all these months later, loving and having my Foxie Roxie girl, who has captured my heart, even as Dillinger owned it, I miss Dillinger and it brings tears to my eyes, so I feel your loss and I am sure Scooter will bring you another loving companion and you will know when that time is. I honestly did not think I could love or want to get another dog so soon after Dillinger's passing, however, I know his spirit brought Roxie to me and so I am sure as Cinnamon brought you Scooter, both of them will bring you the next companion.
Much love and hugs sent your way from me and my Roxie girl. . .

Thanks Laureen and everyone, your words bring me much comfort. I am looking into adopting a new furry friend, but need to get this apartment a little more organized before I bring a cat into it. But I really need a kitty here. I so miss having Scooter in my life; I miss coming home to his meowing, having him snuggle up with me at night, waking me up in the morning, purring on my lap when I get home. My life is very empty right now.
Eileen,
I totally understand. . . I could not walk in the front door of my home after I put Dillinger down, because he was always there to greet me and the house and I felt such a sense of loss, the sadness is less now simply because I know I did what was right and also truly feel that Roxie was brought to me by my Dillinger. . . I don't know if I told you the story or not, but Roxie was placed in the shelter system on the exact day Dillinger was put down (11-29), his birthday was 11-15 and upon reading her papers (as they had all her history), her birthday is listed as 1-15, so while I initially went to see Sirius, the precious girl who now holds my heart was just being brought to the Rottie Rescue Kennel and had I not gotten there early, I might never have gotten her as I was only interested in a "male" dogs. . . I could not believe I would be ready as quickly as I was, I swore I would not get another dog so quickly, but I needed to find that unconditional love to bring joy and dry up my tears. . . organize and grieve and the time will come when you are ready, there are so many who deserve loving homes. . .
