Get yourself a new puppy companion.
Now.
--Mac
Not yet as much as I would like to.This has completed the total turning upside down & inside out of my life.My love for all animals is too great for me not to first make sure I can take care of them in the manner they deserve.
John, we are all talking about a puppy or a dog. Dogs/puppies do take a lot of work but how about a cat or kitten? From what I understand, we can’t have a cat because of allergies, they are much easier to take care of.

I suggested a helpless "puppy" specifically because it will tend to shift the focus of attention away from your own needs and onto a helpless animal that depends on you for life itself.
This wonderful group keeps me in tears of gratitude when I am reminded, again, of the family bond that we all share.
I also wish to offer a listening ear if you should ever need to vent your frustrations and concerns. I think you have my email address and, of course, you can always PM me here.
"I've never met a dog that I didn't like!" Perhaps it's an Oyrish thing. As a lad growing up, I was never without a dog.

We have owned homes for about 41 years now. There have been only about 6 months when we didn’t have at least one dog! As kids both the wife and I always had dogs. I guess we are dog people!

Hi John,
I concur with the idea of a new pet to heal the wounds.
My wife is partially crippled and when our last dog had a fatal illness she was most unset but felt that she could not provide a permanent home for another pet at her age. Instead she opened up our home for dogs when their owners are away on holiday. If she is unwell then I do the looking after them or find someone else to help out.
This has provided my wife with an interest, earns her a little pocket money and enables us to meet new friends. This is working very well.
All the best - LynB

We lost our jack russell right before last Christmas. I still dream about him, but we just got a cavalier king charles spaniel. She's still a pup and loves everybody. She likes lots of affection. I only got that breed because they love all kids and we have to be careful with our grandkids. Otherwise, I would have got one from the shelter.
Helping others can be therapeutic also John. We play at some alzheimers care facilities and retirement homes. It's really uplifting to see what music does for the folks there. Doing those gigs has been helpful to me on some days when I was feeling down. You could try one just to see. May the Lord be with you.

I wish I had suggested that, John. My living in a nursing home puts me on the other side of the equation.
We get some fabulous professional entertainment here but it's the young guy who brings his flattop acoustic guitar and contributes an hour or so of his time and talent to evoke a smile from we residents that REALLY impresses me. As a deterrent to theft we are not allowed to carry cash so he doesn't even get tips but he leaves here each time fully aglow and satisfied.
Bring your music AND your dog. Studies show that petting a dog dramatically reduces BP and anxiety. Animals can sense that older people are not a threat.

You are all very kind and supportive. Once the dust settles and I know I'M settled then I do believe a shelter pet is in my future.

John, I’ve got to agree with those who say you should get another dog. I know you said you weren’t sure you were up to caring for it, but my bet would be that you’d find that ability as soon as you saw that animal needing your love and attention. It sounds like you and Pat could help each other. His dog needs a good home and you need a loving companion. No one loves you more than your dog, but you already know that. How could you resist a face like this?

Thinking, pulling and praying for you John.
Like our friends have stated above, get yourself a new puppy ASAP!
I have a big old black lab, my son named her Marley after his favorite musician of all time. Well we inherited Marley two years ago when my son had to move up north. A few weeks ago he said. "OK Dad, we have a home with a yard now and would be happy to take Marley with us" . . . I told him to not even think he could take Marley away from me now!
Get one "quickly" as the union will be great for both of you.
Later,
|

yep, that's the face.

G'day John, I haven't piped up before 'cos so many others were already there, but a thought has occurred to me that I think is worth sharing: I cannot imagine what you are facing or going through, but I do have a good mate who has been alone pretty much all his life. It is terrifying seeing how his personality disintegrates every so often from the sheer loneliness of his life. The reality is that though he craves company he also inhibits it by his behaviour, learned defense responses to hurts I guess. PLEASE, please don't allow yourself to travel that path. I'm not particularly a "doggie" person, although we do allow ourselves to be owned by a cat, so I can't really comment on the value of getting another dog, but I can advise you to make sure you never allow yourself to disconnect from people around you. I think you already know that as evidenced by your reaching out here, but an online relationship is no substitute for having someone physically close. You have a real advantage over my mate, he couldn't play a note if his life depended on it, whereas you have a skill that is welcomed by most people - you make music. I can't think of anything better than getting involved in a local group (or ten) of musos and entertaining people. One group I play with is called "Big Band Therapy", and believe me, therapy it is - both for us and our audiences  Be blessed mate, be shaped but not brought down by your past and present, and look forward to the next adventure.
--=-- My credo: If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - just ask my missus, she'll tell ya  --=--You're only paranoid if you're wrong!

You are right on Lawrie. I see myself sort of able to slip that way. Sort of getting caught up in the blues.I have a couple things I will be doing that I haven't been able to do before:
1.Going to a church(Unity) that I really enjoyed but had to stop because I couldn't leave Lucy home & too hotin the car.
2. There's a local Flea Mkt were musicians get together on Sat & Sun & play.I've played a couple of times and although the music is not quite up to what I'm used to,the people are all really wonderfull. I just separate the two.
3. If I find myself settling in here, remember this is not were I'm from & is sort of alien to me, I will be getting a dog again.I've already been sort of fantasizing about it.Maybe pat's dog and I will be connected.Fate will dictate.

John,
I'm not working this week. Feel free to stop by and see the dog and visit. I'll send my address and phone # by PM in case you want to do that. No pressure, though. If you visit it doesn't mean you need to take the dog. You're always welcome here under any circumstances and at any time. Likewise, I understand if you have other things to do. Its an open invitation, not an RSVP kind of thing.

John, i feel for you, my friend. it has been a rather difficult road for you. It is so great that so many folks here care about your well being. What a great community. Props to all of you, and your kind thoughts for a friend in need. It is so cool that you have recognized that you have friend here that not only listen, but share their hearts with you.
I gotta say music really is the language of love, and not just in the romantic way, but in real true brotherly love.

Hi John,
I went through the same heart wrenching decision a few years back and it still hurts to remember. I read the posts yesterday and I'm so sorry but it has taken me until today to be able to say how sorry I am, without breaking down myself.
I haven't as yet been able to get a new dog but when the time comes, I think I would like to give an older dog or rescue dog a new lease on life.
My music has gotten me through so much and I'm sure yours will too. It takes time but the grief does lessen.
It's good to know there is so much support for you. I hope it bring some comfort.
yjoh
[i]Music...a joy for life.

Big Band Therapy. I like that one, Lawry. Music is perfect therapy because it's as complex as you want to make it. You can never perfect your playing and then say ok, I've done it all, time to move on. It's great to play with other people because they motivate you do work at it so you can play your parts properly and not mess them up.
John, that sounds like a nice little trip for you, to go visit Pat. Do it asap, I kinda doubt it's like your days are all booked up for the next month, ya know? Let us know what happens.

Thank you for that understanding of where I'm at and why I'll not get another dog in haste. Losing my wife and my four legged child,I have no others,has left me in a fragile state of mind were no important decisions should be made.

It would be however it won't happen for awhile for a few reasons:
1.I can't even go to the neighbors for dinner without getting so jangled that I had to leave after an hour.
2.I don't have the proper setup for his pup & I'm not ready so it would break my heart to see him.Like the picture does every time I look at it.
3.His wife is dying of cancer and I'm sure not ready to see that again.
Pat and I most certainly will get together at some point when he moves on to part 2 of his situation.
