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!

    She need a puppy to train and take care of.  Just like you, she needs to stay busy.  A puppy would certainly take care of that.

    Poor Chelsea! Don’t know what you could do to help her beside give her a lot of attention and cuddles. Hugs to you and your family.

    I think what you  have been doing is exactly right—new places, experiences and most important–new smells! Just like us, it takes a furry buddy time to lessen the pain of loosing a beloved friend. Hugs to you both!
