Thank you all so much. Your words have more impact that you could possibly imagine. I am home alone. Scott is out of town and I had to pick up Helen and take her to a babysitting job tonight and I truly was dreading the task because I knew she would ask about him and I knew she would be heartbroken. I know my girl and I was right. I hope the babysitting will keep her distracted so she can function a bit.
I know you all already know this, but losing a precious one is so difficult. I need to be needed and without Murphy or Zipper needing me, I hardly know what to do. Honey and Lilly, bless their hearts, are right here and are absorbing lots of tears from me.
Thank you, Jess and Anna, for sharing the pictures you did. I will try to post the picture of Zip on his first night here (as a foster), later. That sealed the deal! He became a precious part of our life for almost 3 years.
Rescue is good, my friends. It helps the dogs, but more importantly, it adds value to our lives. We may wait a while, but we will add another to our family, eventually. My motto for several years has been that I wanted to bring in a dog that needed me more than I needed him/her. I think I did that with Murphy and Zipper. Eventually there will be room for more in this house.
Logan
