Am I ready for another? I’m not sure. I could use your help ❤️🐶

The pain of losing Daphne and Chez is still so fresh and intense. Because my heart still aches, I question whether another Cav would help me heal or make the sting of my losses linger even longer. Anytime I begin to vocalize adding another to our family I get choked up. I just want THEM back.

How long did you wait? How did you know you were ready? Did you over think the same way I am? Maybe switching to a different breed would make the transition easier? Help 🥹

One last question - would you tag your favorite breeders and/or rescues below? Maybe the act of doing a little research could be a healthy first step.

As always, thank you for your love and support. I miss this community so much ❤️

My grief journey continues to take me on twists and turns. On any given day my heart feels lost, and then found again in their memories. It’s a bit torturous dazing into photos of them and finally feeling a warmth only to suddenly have my heart ache the same it did the days they left.

Every now and then I swear I see them out of the corner of my eye. I’ve had two very strong signs (sudden smell of wet dog in my bedroom that had me on my knees sniffing every inch of the room!), and am so thankful for the moments they feel close - but they’re temporary, and that’s painful. I’m snapped back to reality quickly, and the tears start to flow.

I miss them from the deepest corners of my heart, and until now this page was a painful reminder to me that I’m no longer a Cav Mom. It’s been hard to process that, but I don’t want it to stop me from being here. So, I’m going to start taking baby steps to return back to the community in hopes that seeing your precious babies and being a part of your convos will bring me some peace and smiles.

Please keep tagging me so I can play catch-up! And, if you wouldn’t mind… leave a “🐶” in a comment below to let me know you’re still here.

Enjoy the 2010 blackberry photography 😎

Love you all and MISS you!�Tess

She was my sassy little princess, but had a spunky tomboy side that kept us all on our toes. A seeker of sun spots around the house, chaser of squirrels, and talkative little thing that would let out a playful growl until she got her way. She loved to hike and swim. She also loved a long shower with me followed by snuggles in a warmed blanket. The beach was her happy place and she went nuts over laser pointers and ice cubes. Her snoring sounded like a lawn mower. If she was upset with us she would p*e on one of our rugs. She’d also follow me around the kitchen smacking the back of my leg until I gave her a taste of whatever I was cooking. She was passionate about treats, sleeping on pillows, and her Uncle Xan. She loved her brother, Chez. She gave sooooo many kisses, and would snuggle for hours (we loved sleeping with our backs pressed together). She was such a vibrant spirit. Daphne could play fetch for an entire afternoon and absolutely loved stealing Chez’s sticks from him and prancing around to taunt him. She was my little Ducky Dog, Duck Duck, Daphne Doodle, Daphne Giraffe-ne, Duck Duck Goose, Pineapple Head and the hole in my heart over this loss is gaping. She was helping me heal from the loss of Chez. We were helping each other heal, actually. This still doesn’t feel real, but happy birthday wherever you are my Daphne. I’ll miss your wiggly little butt and soft, smoochy cheeks (with matching freckles) for the rest of my life. What a special girl 🤍🐶 6/16/09-6/4/22

I’ll miss you for as long as I said I’d love you, Chez. You were a glowing highlight of my life and I’ll treasure our memories daily. Please stay close, buddy. I still need you.

To all of you who have experienced the loss of a heart dog, I’m so sorry. The pain I’m feeling makes my hands tremble and my feet feel numb at times. I’m sick to my stomach most of the day and swear I can actually feel a hole in my heart.

This loss has shaken me to my core. The guilt and regrets are haunting me and are all I can focus on. I truly feel that I failed him in the end. I should have canceled plans and been by his side during those final days. I was so optimistic that he was feeling better and had more time ahead.

I gave him such a beautiful life and I’m so thankful to have had him for 14 special years. But still, these dark feelings of having failed him are front and center in my mind. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to forgive myself.

I find myself looking around my home and still being able to see him in his favorite spots. It’s both comfort and torture.

His hair is still all over my dirty laundry pile - how can I ever wash that away?

His pretty little food bowl sits empty and is a constant reminder that he’s gone - I’ll never fill it for him again.

He would always sit in the doorway of my baby’s nursery as I rocked and fed him to sleep. I looked at him sometime last week and said to myself “remember him there”, and like a stamp it was imprinted in my brain. I still see him in the doorway and I swear I still hear his little nails slide across the floor as he gets up to follow me back to the kitchen. He never wanted to be far from me.

I need just 5 more minutes with him. Just a little time to soak in warmth, hold him and kiss his sweet droopy cheeks. One more 🍦together.

I don’t know how I’ll recover from this. My heart is in shambles, and so is my mind. He was my little soul mate.

Thank you for the continued love and support. It truly means so much to me.

To all of you who have experienced this loss - I am so deeply sorry. Please, share your grief and sadness below. Let it out.

My thoughts are so scattered and sad. This is mourning, I suppose.

The attack on Ukraine is gut-wrenching. Russian leadership, allies and troops have shown the world the face of true evil.

This community has wonderful members suffering from the devastation, and I want to do whatever I can to help.

Please tag Cav lovers you know of from Ukraine. Also, leave any ideas you may have for crowd sourcing financial support, supplies, etc. I’m open to anything as long as it provides help directly to those in need. Together we can help 🤍🇺🇦

This photo was sent to me by my client (Susan) a few weeks ago. I went back-and-forth about whether or not I was going to post it because I didn’t want to seem like I was exploiting this in any way. I decided to share it with all of you today because I think it’s an important photo for all of us.

Every day unnecessary suffering continues in the Ukraine. Their lives have been uprooted and destroyed while much of the world sits idly by. There are so many sad and disturbing photos from this war. This particular photo hits home because they are us; just a family and their Cav who were living their lives until a demon made a decision to change that. It’s my hope that this photo resonates with you as much as it did me and we take a moment of thought for them today.

We have followers on our page from all over the world, including the Ukraine. If you are or know of a Ukrainian family in need, please feel free to reach out. We will do our best to assist in any way we can. We are thinking of you, praying for you and looking to help.
🇺🇦❤️
