Chelsea and the red chair
The one thing I wasn’t prepared for after losing Milkshake was how it would affect my Chelsea dog. It’s been hard to watch. She’s depressed, I have no doubt about it. On our walks to the park, she just sniffs the air and looks around. I know she’s looking for her friend. The vet told me it could take as long as several months for her to get past this.
So I’ve used the advice I give to others. Get out of the house, go visit friends, walk in different places and find new adventures. It’s helped me and it may be helping Chelsea. She liked today’s adventure to the Farmer’s Market and she loved this red chair we found outside the civic center.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get her through this, please share. What’s your experience and advice? We’re a couple of desperados indeed. I wish I could pack her up and take her to quilt market with me!
In my next post, I’ll share the new mini quilts and our newest petite pattern, Foxly.
Hugs to all of you this beautiful Mother’s Day weekend!

I’m a little late o this post…How did Chelsea do while you were at Market? Bet she was super excited when you walked in the door!!! To me, it sounds like you are doing all the right things. New adventures, new smells to distract her, and lots of affection. Maybe even a new toy? Hope you are both doing better. She does look pretty happy in that chair.

There are some essential oils made especially for animals by a vet Melissa Shelton. She has a blend called Transition and another Calm A Mile that you might consider using. The company Dr. Shelton owns is Animal EIO she has a Facebook group also with great information. Prayers for you and your sweet little girl.
