Tuesday, December 16, 2003 I keep thinking about Cookie, wondering how I'm doing, unsure if I am ok, wondering if maybe I am in denial or moving on in a healthy manner. Whenever I think about her, I still get a little bit misty eyed or feel an emptiness in the pit of my stomach. Then I think that I am not capable of having another pet...ever. I am unsure of what it means to be ok in terms of "moving on" without Cookie. At first, I thought maybe I could be a foster home to a dog in need...but I'd be afraid of it living in Cookie's space. Even though she only lived here for a month, this was the last home Cookie knew and her presence is still abundantly clear everywhere. If another dog were to even come visit in this space, it would mean I would have to move Cookie's bed, food bowls, toys...and I wouldn't want another animal (or even person) to touch it. It's as if her belongings are sacred. To me, they are sacred. I don't know what to do. I feel guilty because I am lonely without a pet around but would I want another dog? No. Yes. Maybe. I don't know. Then I think about the issue of people who want to clone their pets. I used to think they were crazy (even when I still had Cookie) but now, I don't think it is so odd. In one way, I would like to have Cookie back even it isn't the same while at the same time, I would always know that it isn't truly her. I wish Cookie would come home to me...I wish I didn't have to miss her so much. I just wish she were back. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
