gyp...youre a FRIGGIN NUTCASE!
if the last couple of weeks on BPO, and the last few days for YOU has taught us anything....it is to LOVE LOVE LOVE our pets more than we dreamed possible for the time we have them. you are too good of a mother to be able to deny it love. you are still mourning the loss of your baby girl, but i think in a way, it will make your bond with pip stronger! i believe everything happens for a reason, and i believe everything teaches us a lesson...somet imes that lesson is simply a reminder of what we already know and had forgotten...wh ich is to hold onto and love what we have while we have it...and i think that is what you will ultimately take from this.Â
you ARE honoring arwen by taking pippin into your hearts and home and giving him the BEST home possible. no one, NO ONE, else could give this little baby a better home, and arwen would have wanted that for her big bro!
i know its hard gyp, when i lost my dog ty, i couldnt imagine getting another dog, or loving another dog. and the first time my family introduced me to cody, the first thing i thought was how cute he was...and then all the sudden i started crying because i thought...."how can i do this to tyler...he is my one and only, and now i am looking at another doggy"....and a while later, i realized that tyler loved me more than anything, and he knew that my very best friend in the world was indeed, him....and i know that he would have wanted me to not "replace" him, but to get another friend to comfort me through everything, including my loss of HIM.  that is what pippin will do for you....he will help you get through this time. his crazy puppy moments when he runs runs runs in circles and then plows into sammy, each time he learns a new trick...and even when he comes over to you and you hug him and cry.....he will be there helping you laugh or smile or cry.Â
i actually, think the very best thing you can do to help you accept things IS to get another buddy....they will be sillly dogs and take your mind off things sometimes, and other times, they will help you cry.Â
you will get through this. and pippin will be right by your side the whole time, while arwen watches from the edge of the bridge and smiles that her brother could make her mommy laugh and help her mommy cry!
