Let the Healing Begin

Isn't she beautiful? As I type this post, new preppy puppy is sleeping in my lap. She won't be able to do that for very long! As it turns out, Mr. Monogram was put in contact with this breeder the week we lost preppy puppy. Knowing how hard her loss would be for me, he purchased the new puppy (the only chocolate female in her litter of 12, just as Ginger had been) and kept it to himself. I have to admit, I was FURIOUS when he finally came clean, but now I see it was the right thing to do.

Yesterday marked one month since we lost our beloved little girl, and it's honestly been the worst time in my life. For me the pain hasn't gotten better with each passing day, it's gotten worse. The emptiness in the house has been unbearable. But picking up our new girl on Saturday has already helped the dark clouds to lift a little. She is a real doll and is sleeping beautifully through the night (thank God!!). We picked her up from the breeder Sat, and she was 6 weeks to the day. She has amazing parents with her mother being a field trial champion and her father being the top CSI and man tracking canine in the state, as well part of the international research institute for canine tracking. He even wears his own law enforcement badge on his collar! Speaking of collars, her collar? SO FREAKING CUTE you won't believe it until you really see it. In fact, I bought her 2 adorable collars from the same person, whom I can't WAIT to share with you guys later. I know you will all go as crazy for her dog collars and leads as I have.

I've got to take the little one out to potty and get mini #2 awake and dressed and fed, but look for me later to hop on with such a fabulous pet find you are all going to go crazy!
