Today was my first day back at work since we lost Charlotte. It was difficult, but everyone I work with is very sympathetic to my grief. Three co-workers have one or more dogs in their household.
I go home each day at lunch to let Charlotte and Bramwell out to go pottie. It was very difficult today when I went home for lunch and only Bramwell greeted me. He is such a sweet boy, but I sorely missed my sweet Charlotte.
I am on my own for a week. My mom was visiting this past week, but she went home this morning and Bogey left to visit two friends from Seattle for a week. So it is just Brammy and me. He is such a comfort to me. He seems to be handling Charlotte’s passing farely well.
Tonight two neighbors who heard about Charlotte stopped by to see how I was doing. It is so nice to have neighbors who reach out in times of need, it meant a lot to me.
One new behavior of Bramwell’s since Charlotte died…he lies on the hearth of our fireplace. He is the sweetest boy…but I repeat myself.

I’m glad Bramwell seems to be doing well with it, sometimes they don’t and what can you do? Explain it to them? And it’s lovely he is a comfort to you. It’s just that walking in the door expecting to see . . . and then you remember . . yeah. It’s tough. Wish you didn’t have to be going through it.
Sending you gentle hugs. I wish that I knew what to say to make this easier. Time is the best healer of all things, I think.
Gosh…it’s so hard when you lose someone really special. I hope that you and Bramwell can help each other through this loss.
