Wise Old Thumper
It has just been over a month since my beautiful Estelle died. Frankie, her hunbun and I have missed her so very much.
Frankie didn't want to eat out of the bowl that they used to share, so I've had to buy another shaped bowl and Frankie will happily eat out of it. The old bowl surely must hold sad memories for him.
He also didn't want to sleep where they used to sleep together, instead he chose to sleep on the blanket sited in a corner in the conservatory where she died.
Only in the past few days has he started to venture back to ' their spot'.
There have been many emotional issues for both of us to deal with, but I sense that his behaviour is saying that he is ready to meet a new friend. His shock, grief and loneliness have now subsided and he is ready to enjoy life once again.
For me.....I am still grieving for Estelle, but have to move on for Frankie's sake.
