I...Susan, you never need to apologise for anything. It is YOUR blog, do with it what you will. Personally, I love the trips down memory lane with jake. <br /><br />"In fact I find myself clinging to, rather than releasing, any and all grips I may have had on my life and who I've decided I am - who I thought I was, who I've always wished to be, and even who I might want to become. I'm afraid to let go of fear."<br />--Is that ironic? I am the exact same way on a lot of things. We cling to that which is familiar, even fear, than reach for the unknown all too often as we are afraid we will fall and indeed some of us do!!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-47600030680240428662009-07-22T23:23:13.370-03:002009-07-22T23:23:13.370-03:00dare i say it? i think it's time to get a new ...dare i say it? i think it's time to get a new puppy. maybe it would be good for both you and winnie d. have courage and take a step toward your fear. any step will do. any step will make you feel better.<br />((hugs)) to you my friend! wish i could take the pain and the fear away for you.julie kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009127575536333064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-14072159493543747532009-07-22T20:51:05.954-03:002009-07-22T20:51:05.954-03:00what a beautiful tribute to a good dog. i was so t...what a beautiful tribute to a good dog. i was so there with you and i know what you mean...sort of soaking up the goodness of your dog -so abundant as you said - his spilt over and you were the beneficiary. <br /><br />i think in the bible when angels appear they always say "dont be afraid". it must be the #1 human tendency to overcome in order to achieve the peace and happiness that i suspect is our intended state of being. <br /><br />thanks for your kind words recentlychickoryhttp://chickory.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-1112136701596338272009-07-22T15:27:00.852-03:002009-07-22T15:27:00.852-03:00I'm thinking Jake would be sad to think that h...I'm thinking Jake would be sad to think that he took your mojo with him. He knows it's still there inside you, just that it's buried under all that loss and grief. You just gotta get to it. A word about Miss Winnie. While she may not be the same as Jake when it comes to loving every other single human being on the planet, perhaps it's going to take your Joy to bring out her joy. It's a thought to ponder.<br />Hang tough.Big Shamuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297361034783510191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-91117078321704215152009-07-22T14:13:23.463-03:002009-07-22T14:13:23.463-03:00I recognize these feelings.

I have had many dogs, but none has been closer to me that Edward. He's like all the dogs of childhood rolled into one. I feel for you so much. But, like Judy in ky...I wonder if there is another dog out there who might need you as much as you need him.<br /><br />Love from us all!!Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-55768516027741205282009-07-22T12:50:07.227-03:002009-07-22T12:50:07.227-03:00and this, too, will pass....

I think I had that when my children were little: that unconditional love, the happiness, the feeling that every day was just this fabulous adventure laid out before us. Now mine have grown and are in the middle of flying the coop. There is a void there, an ache for those days. Sophie, our big old husky-shepherd mutt, has helped to fill that void (not completely of course, because those were 'golden days'). She is a confident dog, and somehow, it just rubs off on me. She's a dear happy pal when I feel like crawling under the covers and not coming out. And even though she was a gift to my 16 year old, he's nice to share her with me. :)yoborobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066130552106363077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-21374425447468276252009-07-22T10:42:45.319-03:002009-07-22T10:42:45.319-03:00Susan, do you think adopting another Golden puppy ...Susan, do you think adopting another Golden puppy would bring back your joie de vivre? Or, would it make you miss Jake more? I know that Jake was one of a kind and he will never be replaced. But if goldens in general have that same exuberant quality, maybe it would bring it back in you. Hope that makes sense. You can't change who you are, but your companions can bring out the best part of you... and it sounds like Jake did that. <br />I know for me, I can be brooding and dark... but an upbeat companion can lift me out of it. Maybe you do need a new puppy to do that for you.judy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-25624478696766535632009-07-22T07:59:42.219-03:002009-07-22T07:59:42.219-03:00It sounds so easy doesnt it, to just let go.

I think Hope is the key for me, the antidote to fear.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829970006543468066noreply@blogger.com
