Thank you, Lala. Lizzy came to live with us when she was only 5 weeks old. We'd only chosen her the week before. We'd lost our first Springer 3 months earlier, and DH was desperate for a dog. This from a man who never liked dogs at all.So, in the past 27 years, we've only been without a Springer for a little over 3 months. And yes, he's already trying to convince me put in an application for a rescue.
I think your dad had the right idea, Lala. Even though it has to have been terribly painful to lose your beloved dog, he made it a day for the family to share.
It's such a painful experience. Your poor DH---I really feel for both of you.
