This sounds like a wonderful session đ
I wasnât sure I was ready for another dog.
When we lost Nelly, our big, loving Bernese mix, the last of our three girls to pass on, my heart ached in a way I canât even put into words.
A part of me longed to share our lives with another dog, but another part of me was still deep in grief.
And then along came W***y.
A was five-month-old ball of intensity that was supposed to be a temporary foster; just like Nelly was so many years before.
He came at a time where I longed for connection with a dog but also at at a time when I felt like I had nothing left to give.
I caught myself comparing him to her, wondering if Iâd made a mistake, feeling guilty for struggling instead of instantly bonding with him.
What got me through? I let myself feel what I needed to feel. I continued to honour Nelly.
And most importantly, I didnât force myself to âmove onâ or pretend the grief wasnât there.
If youâve ever experienced this push and pullâgrief for one dog while trying to open your heart to anotherâyouâre not alone and I'd love to support you.
Thatâs why Iâm hosting Paws to Heal â A Journey from Love to Loss, a live masterclass for anyone navigating the loss (or impending loss) of a beloved dog or struggling to bond with a new one while still grieving.
