Oh, Cali


{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I've just asked my lovely Yogi to welcome your baby boy samoyed up there at RB and show him around....I'm sure they'll be getting along famously!

All that everyone has said is true true true. Guilt, yes, but don't let it eat you...make decisions, if you like, about how to do things differently....I think your ideas are good...

I made a couple of decisions myself when Yogi passed over, too....

I'll never have another lonely only....two dogs have more fun when I'm at work or whatever, than one....

and I'll always try to have my dog be a blood donor (unless it's ever too hard on my baby). 'Cuda has saved at least 2 doggie lives. yay for him!

In all of it, though, don't forget that you also have to take care of you. Maybe structure your rides differently, but don't spend too long away from riding. Take it from someone who has already been away from it too long....it's hard on your soul! Shower your babies with love, take good care of them, and take good care of you, too!

Yup, there are lots of good moms here. We all feel a little of your pain...

Hugs and Namaste,
