Dog slide -
Oh, bitt, I’m so sorry about your beloved dog. I love the idea of the grandkids coming over to celebrate her life and wreck the house! I still miss my own best dog in the world, Nala, every day, but I got a rescue recently. She was reported to be a 7 year-old lap dog Yorkie/Maltese mix who lived with an elderly woman who couldn’t care for her any more. She was very quiet and timid the first week I had her but there’s always a lot of noise and energy in my house. Between that, a grooming to significantly shorten her hair, and the frequent walks, her personality has changed. She’s now almost as boisterous as Nala was and greets everyone enthusiastically like they’re her long-lost owner. She runs happily all over the house and literally smiles at me all the time, which is hilarious because she has cross-piled teeth and looks very goofy. She makes me laugh and helps me forget how much I miss Nala. Her previous owner called her Chelsea but I call her CeeCee. She answers to the mere sound of my voice so I don’t think what I call her matters. You never know if there’s another dog out there waiting for you too to rescue each other.
thanks - I probably won’t get another dog...and since my kids and I dog swap, maybe I’ll get my fill-up..
Nice to hear about your new dog after losing Nala. We had a 3/4 Maltese, 1/4 Yorkie mix we raised from a tiny pup, he lived 16 years. Yogi. Best dog ever for me. Yes the grooming is a chore but totally worth it. Happy for you.
