My sweet Rosie died this April. I adopted her 9 years ago. She was a breeder in a puppy farm and came to me with terrible issues. I was going through some stuff too, but from the moment I got her home I was smitten. We rescued each other. I haven’t been myself since she passed, the grief has been all consuming, but as I got decorations out and cried as I saw this coat that she wore every Xmas, I also felt like she was still with me, by my side, and I’ll be ok 🐾🌹#DogsOfMastodon #Mastodogs #dogs
Following on from the previous post - these photos are the first few I took of Rosie. It’s hard to remember her being so scared and sad at the beginning as we bonded very quickly, (her first smile melted my heart) but her fear was acute and needed so much special care. #DogsOfMastodon #MastoDogs #dogs #RescueDogs (another photo coming in replies)
After she died I made this collage of all our selfies - she was so loving but also had the biggest personality. She saw me through the pandemic when it was just her and I for so long. I may have been alone for that time, but with her I was never lonely. I was so very lucky that day I decided to go to the rescue shelter and she came into my life. Love you boo, always 💕 #DogsOfMastodon #Dogs #Mastodogs #RescueDogs
@GreenishFinger My Uschi died a little over a year ago and I still find it hard to look at pictures. I know how it feels.
@Nigel150 bless you, they leave a hole don’t they?
@GreenishFinger Yes. A huge empty space.
