Recovering from a broken heart

lkellen · 12-04-2012, 09:07 PM

My bf and I had been together 3 years and adopted Remington together April 2012.

We broke up early November. I kept Remy because she has always been MINE. When I say mine, I paid for her at the shelter, and have paid for most of her training/vet/dog needs.

I was feeling really sad and had cried myself to sleep one night. Remy somehow pushed her kennel lock over and woke me up with kisses and made me realize how special it is to have a dog, and how they seriously understand when their "'master" is upset.

I just wanted to share with y'all how amazing it is to have her by my side, and the picture I snapped after waking up

when i am sick i my dogs check to see if i am too weak to fight back, i think they see me as a food provider or potential food source.

hope things improve for you soon.

Thank y'all
@x11 ---- I HOPE your dog doesn't see you as a food source!

GSD's are seriously the sweetest dogs I've come across.

I've had so many people judge her by her color/breed. It really sucks, because she is the sweetest thing.

In my 20 s I broke up with my bf and kept the dog. One of my colleagues complemented me, "You got the best deal!" It is harder to break up with a dog (IMHO).
Hope you will recover soon.

Thank y'all.

Oh definitely, it's harder to break up w a dog. I definitely would have fought for her if it came down to that.

They always seem to know if we feel sad or upset - and there's nothing like a cold nose and wet sloppy kisses to make you laugh even if you're feeling miserable

Breakups are tough, but often for the best. I'm glad you have Remy to help you through this difficult time. He is gorgeous. Love his ears.

Oh these special creatures are healers indeed. They are so intuned with us.

Beautiful girl
