Our stories are very similar! We had a mixture of breeds, Yorkshire terriers, springer spaniels, golden retriever, parson jack Russell, mixed terrier and yes a King Charles spaniel. She was a ruby one called Brandy and she liked nibbling chins! Simon could walk far without going dizzy as his blood pressure would drop, so when we took Baxter and Cassie out, he would catch me up in a buggy. The dogs would keep looking behind to see if he was coming. After Simon passed, they would still look behind for quite a few weeks to see where he was. It was hard to realise he wouldn’t be there. I’ve tried to sleep in the middle but I can’t so stay on my side. At the beginning I wanted to change everything, decorate, do something. Apparently that feeling is common. I didn’t want to see where he sat, ate dinner etc. I think I just wanted to block it out. I didn’t change anything and I’m glad a didn’t. Our garage was his man cave so it’s difficult to go in there. I’ve still got some clothes left, like his leather jacket which he always wore when we first got together. That’s not going anywhere! Janet xx
