Back into dog ownership! (or should that be back into the state of bliss known as "puppy love", LOL?).
As of 10 days ago I now have a dog back into my world, although instead of a Chessie I now own/ am owned by a lovely little female Irish Terrier! Her name is Cassie (full registered name Cassan Grania - gaelic for "red-haired one who inspires terror"), and she quite lives up to her name. She has earned the nickname of "Irish Terrorist" and often is just referred to as the smallest canine member of the Sinn Fein, LOL! She is a holy terror when it comes to shoes, fabrics, and any other chewables you can name. Lock up your chewables, here she comes!
Already I see some personality differences from our Chessie (I thought he was stubborn but apparently I had no idea what stubborn was, LOL!), but I love her to pieces - and all my fears of feeling guilty for loving a new dog have dissolved completely!
Will post photos if I ever get that figured out but for now I just wanted to post to say thanks to all who assured me that there is room in your heart for another dog after losing one that was so loved - you were right. She will never replace my Chessie, but I think she has made my heart just grow enough to fit her in it....
