K-K-Katie

I thought after my Petie past in 2008 that I would never, never get another dog. Too many heart aches when they go. My DH found this little girl on Craigs List and I knew I had to have her. My husband said I was getting too depressed over loosing Petie.

She was 6 weeks old. Boy, did I forget what having a puppy was all about as Petie was 16 when she died and as she aged I knew what it was all about because I was aging along with her.

After two months of training (ha!) I was at wits end. She was a lap dog allright but I loved having lap dogs, however, she really was a LAP dog. It got on my old nerves a bit and I just couldn't seem to bond with her.

I called our Vet and asked if there was anyone who would like to have her. Someone else who maybe lost their dog. My Vet told me that I should wait, that it takes time but she said she would keep that in mind.

She is now a year old. I am so glad that there wasn't anyone looking for a Boston Terrier for free. She is now a calmer little girl. She is still a lap dog but divides her time between DH and me. The Vet was right, give her some time she said. I am so glad I did. Allthough right now bonding with her is a little harder than I thought because of how I felt about Petie I am sure as the months and hopefully years go by that too will pass.

A Friend

Her name is June:
I have been corresponding via snail mail believe it or not for about a year now with this wonderful new friend of mine. We met on the internet doing swaps. It continued on because I had this love of New York City like forever and she lived there. It was so much fun and interesting as she liked a few of the things I did also, like books, quilting, museums. Very interesting lady I learned. She travelled a lot to places I would probably never think of going. She is about the same age as me (but I am older) so we could remember things about the past that a lot of younger friends would not have a clue about.
Well she moved to Cape Cod. My other place I love. I hope someday on my trip to Maine that I will stop in to see her. Its a nice relationship. We don't call on the telephone or expect anything from each other and her letters are a treat for me. I surely hope mine are to her.
It is so funny that you can write things to strangers that you would not mention to neighbors or anyone else, until all of a sudden you find someone that you connect with. Thanks June.
