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!

It’s hard on them too. They are incredible creatures w/emotions too, regardless of what some think. You’re doing all the right things. We were also told to shower w/extra attention. And when the time is right for you, might you consider adding another. My opinion two is always great.

Ot will take a while. Two years after I brought Daisy to TX she saw a Border Collie and was SO excited to think Ringo had come. About broke my heart! Ringo took care of both of us. The memory may fade but just like us, it will not go completely away.
