The house keeps getting quieter.....
We lost our little Sage on the 17th of August. Last evening we said good-bye to DH's Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Chelsea. In 2003, she was dumped out along the road in a very rural/sparsely populate...

A number of years ago, we lost two only 4 days apart, and that was right before Christmas that time.
That's what happens when you have multiple seniors.
We took in an 11 yr old boy back in June. I knew Sage wasn't doing well, but really expected her to last another year. And Chelsea was declining, but again, didn't expect things to spiral downhill as fast as they did. Certainly wasn't the right time to add another dog in our minds, but some days the heart rules.
I truly believe everything happens for a reason, even though it may not be clear at the time.
If we hadn't taken in the new boy, our Cowboy would be alone now. He has never been alone without another dog in his entire life. So we are really glad to have Robbie here with us.
Cowboy has struggled with losing Sage, but is coming around. I see the two boys' bond with each other growing. They are starting to bounce around together and interact more. All in all, it was an easy fit with the new boy.
It's never easy losing any of them.
