Looking at those pictures in my last blog just now brought a huge wave of sadness and tears. God, I miss Oakley. What the hell is wrong with me?! I still feel like there this this giant hole in my heart. My home at times still feels so lonely and sad. Maya actually seems especially depressed. I'm not sure she can do well as a single dog. We were on the verge of taking in a dog from an acquaintence of mine who could no longer keep her dog. He isn't the type of dog I would ever consider adopting and it's been a struggle making a decision like this. She had originally brought him to the St. Paul AHS who deemed him not adoptable and were going to euthanize him the other day until she went back and brought him home. They claimed he was mean and aggressive, which apparently was news to my friend. I met him yesterday and it was so far from the truth. He actually came back rail thin with sores on his mouth and elbows. I have no idea what that poor dog went through while being at the AHS. It kind of frightens me. He is an absolute sweetie, a bit high energy, but he's not even 2 yet. It turns for now that someone else is going to take him. If it doesn't work out, then we'll probably take him, although, I'm not sure he's a good match only because Maya is not as limber and active as she used to be. But, it could bring her out of her funk. I don't know what will happen, but there is a possibility he will end up in our household. John isn't quite ready, and I'm not sure that I really am either, but if I need to foster him for a bit, that would be fine. We'll see what happens this week.
Anyway, I still miss ya buddy. I don't think it will ever go away. John and I cooked up a crab/shrimp boil yesterday an I wanted to bad to be able to give Oakley a little corn on the cob and some beef sausage. He would have loved that so much!
