Love this line: Somehow, she is trusting and open and ready to see what else the world has to offer. May we all be this brave!
So happy to read this, she’s perfect, and when you know you know! I saw the picture of Stevie on the shelter website and she wasn’t technically any of the things I wanted in a dog (other than hypoallergenic, sadly a must) and it’s possible that my husband said he wasn’t ready (but listen we live in chicago we weren’t emotionally going to handle winter here dogless) but I just knew. Also, somehow getting her helped with our dog grief because as we got to know her, it resurfaced old memories of the former queen of our house and just made me love both of them even more. So happy for all of you and weeping over Dunkin, ofc.
Congratulations! This post makes me realize we've never talked about Vickie Hearne, who I think is one of the best dog writers out there. Her book Bandit: Dossier of a Dangerous Dog is about pit bulls and their place in our culture and what it means about human problems with race and neighborhood and danger. Here's her advice on dealing with dog grief: another dog, same breed, right away. Seems like you figured that out on your own.
Oh I love this so much. Thank you, Annie! There is of course the fear of moving on too soon but that's so silly because of course there is no moving on from Yaya, just holding onto what she gave us. You get it! I'm looking that book up immediately.
Omg Rosamond this gave me chills in the best way 🥹 Dunkin entering his big brother era 👑 Yaya is going to be so proud of him 💙💙 (excuse all of the emojis I just couldn’t help myself)
