"To let go is to fear less and love moreRemember: The time to love is short"
This line means an awful lot to me. In February, I lost my much loved little Chhuahua girl, she was 10 years old and I'd hoped we would have more time together. After she died, I said I couldn't have another Chi and started considering other types of dog, but my heart wasn't in it. In the end I was "frightened" to let myself love another dog, for fear of the loss I would feel at a later date. I scoured the net looking for the breed/type with least health issues. Seems silly now, but it was very real at the time.
The more I looked for the "right" dog, the harder it got to find her. I just went round and round in circles.
One day I asked myself what would make my heart smile and I knew there and then, it would be another little Chihuahua.
Through a lady I know, we found our lovely little Rosie Chi, we have had her almost 2 months now.
On the day we collected her (she was unwanted by her breeder) I decided I would make the most of every day I have with her and not let the fear of loss spoil one moment.
Yes, the time to love is short and I try now to make the most of every moment
Hope I haven't waffled on too much

Hi Barbara,
Some people don't apreciate how the loss of a pet is as bad as loosing a human loved one. I hope you are giving her regular Reiki to keep her well. I'm sure the two of you will be happy for many years to come.
Blessings,
