My husband and I found out that we grieve differently. He needs to wallow in his sorrow for some unknown amount of time. I need to be busy. Taking care of Zena was the first thing I did EVERY day and it was the last thing I did EVERY night. Waking up and going to bed were too of the hardest times of day for me.
The house was unbearably empty -- even with 4 cats. I just couldn't breathe. So I started looking at dogs at Petfinder.com and anyplace else that I could think of. I stumbled onto an adorable terrier mix puppy and talked Jay into getting her.
I brought Lucy home this past Sunday. She's the cutest puppy ever and I'm happy to be busy taking care of someone again. She's teething really bad, so we keep chew things in front of her at all times. She's doing great with house training and she's learned to sit.
I/we still miss Zena terribly. She was just so perfect for us. But little Lucy is fun and full of life, and that's what we need.
