Life, my dog and me.

I lost Gracie on May 26, 2022. September 19, 2022 We brought Bubbles home. Bubbles was an adorable puppy. Who doesn't love puppies? But I had a really hard time at first.
My most noticeable observation: Bubbles did not have the beautiful almond-shaped eyes that Gracie had. This puppy had beady round eyes.
To be honest, the round eyes were CUTE and she looked like a little stuffed animal, but, inside of myself -- I wanted the lame, sick, tilted-headed, blind, deaf dog that I had to help get into bed at night. I wanted Gracie.
It was bittersweet.
But time has a way of making things better if we work on finding the good going forward.
Bubbles has helped me in so many ways. I can now look at Gracie in memories with a smile. Bubbles has won my heart and I love her so much! I will always love Gracie too. My heart feels really big these days, and there is room for both. There's room for every pet I've ever owned.

It's hard to let Gracie's blog just sit here. I come back sometimes and read old entries. I miss her so much. I've met so many great friends here, through this blog. Pets have died. Friends have passed on. I find it sad to visit this blog sometimes, thinking about what a great time we all had here, sharing our furry friends, friendships, thoughts, feelings, and love. And now, so many are gone.
Yes, I come back here and revisit this past chapter of my life, and I mostly smile. Because it was a great time. And I am thankful.
If Gracie were here, she would say -
Dear Diary,
The nag Mom is gushing about thoughts, feelings, and memories today. I wish she'd just get off that soapbox and focus more on what she'll be giving me for supper. She needs to be more in tune to my needs. After all, I own her, right?
Gracie.
