I want to thank all of my blog friends for the kind words and compassion following the devastating loss of Coco to cancer. It is been a little more than a week since her passing and it seems like an eternity. I spent the first weekend in bed crying alternated with drinking large glasses of wine. I pulled myself out of bed on Monday to go back to work but, unlike anything I have ever done, without makeup and contact lenses and in a (gasp!) sweat suit. I wore similar outfits (I should say lack thereof) for the rest of the week. I just didn't give a shit. I picked up Coco's remains in a little box on Monday which further depressed me. I can't believe she is gone. I instinctively look over my shoulder when I back up my desk chair so I don't run into Coco, I look for her in the office, I hear her in the house and my gut tells me to get home to let Coco out or to feed her. This is a huge void.
I am also fortunate to have the very best friends in the world who have been there to support me every step of the way. I love you guys. You know who you are.
Some people want to wait before adopting another dog but I have a huge empty spot in my heart which needs to be filled. Probably the only thing in which I excel is caring for pets. I am ready to find my next bundle of love. There will never be another Coco. She was the best and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

I'm sure there is a puppy out there that needs you just as much as you need it!
Puppy Time! Whatever you do, don't get a cocker spaniel.
I agree with Steph - so true. You will never, evr forget Coco - and there's so many animals out there that need all the love in your heart!
I'm the same way, I can never stand the nagging emptiness of the place left when a pet passes away, so it makes me so happy to hear that you will soon have another bundle of love. While you can never fill the void left by Coco, there is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog or the sweetness of a big sloppy puppy kiss to begin to heal the hole in your soul.
Thanks for the kind words. It is still difficult.
Inexact---why do you dislike cocker spaniels? I am looking at a sheltie cocker spaniel mix.
cockers have issues. they are very hard to house break, they are disgusting little poop eaters, they resource guard, they're not very smart, they'll blankly stare at you for hours, and they're very high strung and neurotic.
