Incase who ever may read this is a virgin to my blog of crap and nonsense, previous posts reveal my craving for a dog. Preferably a golden retriever or a cavalier king charles spaniel. In September I lost my baby boy Chocky and have had a hard time dealing with it. Even now, 7 months on seeing a Weimaraner, talking about him or seeing pics I get teary and still feel this empty kind of pain inside.
That kind of makes me feel as though I still havent fully grieved and have moved on. How do you when you have and can get past it? When I browse puppy listings or refuge pages Chock's on my mind and I cant help but thinking would it just be easier to get another Weim to fill the hole? That would be the wrongest thing to do and I know that and wouldnt. Maybe once I am actually able to bring home my new baby things will change and I guess my affections and attention will be placed on him or her fully and move on. Yet the thought of a new dog, a puppy makes me smile, a new companion I get to have from day 1 and see grow from a pup to a wonderful dog. I have always missed out on that part... Guess I am really just torturing myself at the moment, but i really miss the companionship of a dog,I have Ty but not quite the same. Cats are different. She is different hehe....
Anyways, I came across this, Ten Commandments for Dog Owners from the dog. I kinda got a little teary, its very true and shows why Dogs are really the best friend.
1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you would be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me. Do not break my spirit with your temper, though I will always forgive you. Your patience and understanding will teach me more quickly, those things you want me to learn.
3. Place your trust in me and I will always trust you back, respect is earned not given as some sort of inalienable right.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. I am not capable of understanding why I am being locked up. I only know I have been rejected. You have your work, entertainment and friends. I only have you.
5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your tone. "You only have to look at my tail" to know that.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget, if that treatment is unjust or bad, it may spoil the special bond between us.
7. Please do not hit me. I cannot hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I don't ever want to feel the need to do that.
8. Before you tell me off me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be wrong with me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been out in the sun too long, maybe my heart is getting old and weak, or maybe I'm just dog-tired.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old and will also want care, love, and affection.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, Irrespective of what you do I will always love you.
