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 looks like a true miniature on that chair: so cute!!! And I’m sorry, but I don’t have any ideas for how to help her get through missing her buddy. It’s sad, and I think you are doing the best thing for her in going new places and keeping her busy with new adventures. Hugs, to you and her!! H

That is so sad. When we lost one of our German Shepherds the only thing that worked was getting another dog. Now after 4 months they are best friends, even tho one is just a puppy. Hard decision for sure, I feel for you.

She’s so tiny in that big red chair, can’t you tuck her inside a bag (like an accessory) and take her to market? I’m sorry I don’t have any advice….I recall with our cats how when we lost our Rudy, little Max would let out these long meows as if calling for her sister :(
