Alas, a ray of sunshine in my depressing week, I just brought Sabre's ashes home from the vet, they did a wonderful urn for him. Now it feels like we are making some progress to the road to normal again. Not to mention that today was my 2nd day of my physical therapy for my knee that I just had operated on and the therapist was impressed with the increased mobility I have already.
New years eve we stayed home as Cody our remaining notweiler had a few throwing up episodes and we kissed and toasted when the ball dropped and all went to bed.
Coming home is still kinda sad, as Sabre had his own special way of greeting us, and Cody well he's just so sad, ears back and tail not wagging. So little steps each day.
I still get sad
, get mad
, get glad
all in the same day but so many have said that is normal. The getting mad part was brought to me on saturday afternoon at the grocery store. My mom and I were putting my grocery on the belt and something popped into my head about Sabre and I immediately started crying. The checkout lady asked what was wrong and I told her that my dog had just passed away that day before and she remarked she was sorry. But the idiot lady in front of me said "It was only a dog".
I stopped what I was doing and before I could muster a response, my mom who was with me told her to mind her own business and that was her grand fur kid she was talking about, then the lady says it again. I was floored.
I cleared my through through my sobs and said "Well at least he got love and gave love more than I can say for you!" Well that shut her up.... thank goodness she did not park near us in the parking lot because I swear my mom would have run her over with the shopping cart!! I mean I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion but lordie bee I was also taught if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all!
I appreciate everyone's support here, as I suspect you all understand and well most of you seem to have been there yourselfs and even quite recently. So I feel some much comfort here .
