There isn't a night that passes without me thinking of her before I go to sleep, nor a morning that passes without me missing her cheery smile at the bottom of the stairs and a wagging tail, at least somebody was there who I know was pleased to see me again! I'm wondering whether I need to see a shrink or something to sort me out. Dave thinks I'm having one of those mid-life crisis thingies and I'm searching for what it is, but I think I know what it is deep inside, but I can't have that can I. When Dave said to me "it looks like you need an affair then" I retorted back with "yes, and in your Dear John letter I'll put "you should have let me have that parrot"! Lol! Gotta laugh I suppose, through all these tears.

I'll just have to carry on as we are for the moment, I know I should count my blessings, I have everything anyone could wish for, a caring husband, my dear old Mum close to hand now, a lovely fluffy bear to cuddle (he does like a cuddle but he just hasn't got that personality/affection that Cassie had and that I'm missing so much)a gorgeous new house, nice car to drive, enough money to live comfortably and not have to work anymore, blimey, who could wish for more really! Why do they leave such a big gaping hole in your heart when you have all that!!!??

I suppose it's all come to a head with me now that things have all slowed down and I've got time to think. I've lost a horse I had for over 20 years, a dog I adored, and a best friend, all in the past 3 years, plus all the upheavel of moving my mum over here, it's been a bit much for the old grey matter to deal with I suppose.

I'm not depressed, don't think I could ever be depressed, I'm just a tad down and very tearful which isn't like me at all, I'm a tough old bird! Gonna try and pick myself up and get over it as they say.

Don't know where I'd be at times like this if it wasn't for you lovely peops on here though! I'd rather you made me laugh like you normally do though!!! Thanks.xxxxxxx
You may have cried reading our posts but you got me back big time with your post above. esp the bit about the wagging tail etc.Hope you are feeling a bit better.What about doing some dog walking for a rescue? Loads of cuddles waiting there?

OH Helen, I know just how you feel, when I lost Barney I was heart broken, and it didn`t make things any easier still have my other dog Daisy, they are so different with such different personalities that it doesn`t make it any easier. I think we all go through these bad patches and hopefully you will feel a little better tomorrow.

Hope that the feelings you have now will not last too long.

Thanks Kel, yes, we do need those hugs, so it's a good job I've got you lot on here otherwise I don't know where I'd be! I might invent a "hug machine" for people like me who don't have any on offer!!!

Cassie is and always will be with you. You know that she pops in to see if your doing ok. She wouldn't want to see you sad expecially as she is having so much fun at the bridge. Hope this helps you.
Thanks Shiba, and for your lovely pm which cheered me up no end, not making me laugh, but such a lovely message there for me!xxx

Ooooops sorry Fudgeley, didn't want to do that! Yes, that's the first thing I said to Dave this morning about offering some help to our local rescue centre or something, but then having said that, I know what I'm like and I would have wanted to do more and more instead of say 1 or 2 hours (I KNOW me so well!) and for one thing it's not safe to leave Mum for too long in case she falls or sets the house alight with her ciggies I might still think about that one though and get in touch with the dog warden where I got Georgie from, he knows me well too so I'm sure he'd let me help them in some way.

Sorry if I've dragged up a few memories for you too with this thread Katie That's exactly what I mean, they have such different personalities, and Cassie I could talk to, all the time, she was always appearing from nowhere with her great big grin, or maybe just for a cuddle, and I could TALK to her and she'd listen, whereas Georgie just wouldn't understand, all he wants is food! Well, you know the answer to that one don't you!!!xxx

Thanks Kirsty, hopefully it's just a short phase I'm going through. Maybe because I was out in the garden yesterday hosing down that patio and I stopped to have a little chat at her grave and snip off her dead roses, she must have reached out and taken another little chunk out of my heart, bless her!!!xxx


The farmer where I kept my horse over the road, always used to say to me "that's the smartest dog in Town" and I think he really meant it, not only was she smart, she was well behaved with impeccable manners, and certainly beautiful, a real dog in a million. Just to tell you how clever she was, when I used to be mucking out in the pitch black at 5.30 am. in the winter in the pouring rain, she'd pester me with that big hard rubber ball, drop it in a pile of poo in the stable, I'd throw it miles out into the field of long grass, and do you know, she'd come back with it within seconds!!! Not a lot of dogs could do that I'm sure!!! Such lovely memories I have, although at the time, that particular game of hers would drive me nuts!!! My friend used to take the mickey out of me up there, and say "You do make me laugh H, one minute it's C-a-s-s-i-e blooming dog grrrrrr, and then it's awwwww I love that dog"!!! Lol! Everyone used to laugh at our antics up at the stables, even my horse I think!!!

Thanks for listening I really am feeling sooooo much better now, and I mailed Dave to tell him that Parrots off now, so he'll be more relieved at work now. Hey ho, better feed old Georgie now, do his skin, and then empty Mum's commode! Oh what a joyful existence I have hey!!!!! You've cracked it, I'm laughing again now folks! Thanks!!!xxxxxxxx

Oh Helena, I',m sorry I have only just caught this thread - been at work today.

Everyone is entitled to feel down and low sometimes, you don't have to quantify it. And of course it is still very early days - it is really not that long since you lost your dear Cassie and we all know how much you loved her.

You have been focusing on getting Cameron and now that is not happening you are probably feeling a bit flat.

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter now but remember we are all allowed to feel down sometimes, no matter what we have or don't have.

Take care.
xx

Aww...sweetie, I'm so sorry I missed this today and hope you're feeling better now. Your cyber Cass is always here when you need a cyber cuddle. At least you know you may be able to get another dog in future. Nothing well ever replace your darling Cassie but at least another dog may fill the void you're feeling. You've got me in floods of tears now and I'm trying to put on my makeup to go out!
You take it easy Aitch and you know where I am when you need me. I sincerely hope you can visit us one day and have a real cuddle of our Cass! xxxxx

Aww Helena, some dogs are really that bit more special, and they take an even bigger chunk of your heart with them. Cassie is always with you, that's what I think about my special boy Khan anyway, even when I am walking with Zak I just know Khan is with us. Big hugs to you.
