Losing Teddy has been a devastating and heartbreaking experience for me, for my husband, and for my little doggie, Rascal. There is not a day when I do not miss him, and there is not a day that I wish he was still with us.
To help us cope with the loss, and to help us move on, we have decided get another doggie in memory of Teddy. Rascal always had Teddy with him, and we were afraid that he was going to feel neglected especially when the baby comes, and we will not be able to give him 100% of our attention.
Having said that, we decided to get a 6 month old, 9 pound Coton de Tulear dog. The breed, Coton de Tulear are pretty much like Bichon Frises, but their hair is straight and easier to maintain.
We named our new doggie, Bear, in honor of Teddy Bear. Here is a video of Rascal and Bear's first meeting at the park.
I must admit, I do not yet have the same connection to Bear as I did with Teddy. However, I am sure that affection and caring will come in due time. Additionally, Rascal is still very aloof with Bear, and I guess, he was trying to figure out if this white fluff of hair is staying in his house. Bear has been very nice but very shy.
Welcome to our family Bear.
