Oh Lin!
It must be tough to have lost lady but I am sure Grace is loving all her attention. I am torn whether or not to let Chris see Bear, he keeps asking....the thought of him and his new girlfriend and Bear makes my blood boil ...but I think she misses him .
It's easier when you have Bear and you don't have to miss her. I'm glad Chris misses her since that means he cared. maybe you two will work out a visitation or maybe he'll stop asking. But, I'm sure Bear will forget about him soon and you can move forward.
I hate that Darrell says he loves Lady, but leaves her with his girldfriend. For a man who waited 20 years to get the rott he wanted, he acts like a dead beat dad. I'd feel better if he stayed home with her and loved her like I did and still do and want to. She deserves better.
You're right. Grace loves her attention. I am finally able to be 100% to her and am loving it as much as she is. We bonded big time after I got my own place last year. I was always jealous that she wanted to cuddle Darrell so much. She is getting the love and affection and attention I think she's worthy of.
