I found my husband surfing the SPCA websites this morning and that was that. We hadn&#8217;t spoke of it yet, but I guess we were both thinking the same thing: the house is lonely, it&#8217;s too quiet when we come in with no one to greet us, the bag of dog food is going to waste in the closet, etc. (insert other lame excuses).<\/p>\n<p>So now there&#8217;s this puppy. Crying and mouthing and being utterly adorable. I&#8217;m not looking forward to the next few nights; his first away from his parents and littermates. But the house didn&#8217;t feel right without a dog. We&#8217;re taking the easy way out of our mourning for Buddy, I know. There is no distraction from sadness like a puppy. We do what we have to to heal a broken heart.<\/p>\n<p>I apologize for being away for a few days, but I didn&#8217;t have anything to say that wasn&#8217;t pathetic. I appreciate your concern and the love you sent our way. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Life is good with a lab pup at your heels.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it&#8217;s soon, but really I&#8217;m surprised we lasted the few days we did.
