Not Helping
But sometimes running away is not a solution. Though the family had moved to a different house, the memories still lingered on. They still found it difficult to get over the past. This all was bothering Emily as she knew that if the hollowness manages to persist in her kid’s heart any longer it would destroy their evolving personality. Moving away did not do the trick perhaps moving closer to someone would do.
New Family Member
The family that was grappling with pain needed someone who could get them out of it. That is when Emily decided to bring a new dog home. It was a cute brown and white bulldog puppy. And with that came the breeze of freshness and happiness in the house. Emily for the first time saw her girls smiling. They named the new member Fern.
A Puppy
A Patch
Emily maintained, “It’s like I could feel a patch be placed on my heart.” “I watched as my girls squealed and played and loved on her. She changed everything.” she continued. The woman too had grown attached to the pooch. She would take her to playdates that would give Fern a chance to socialize with other dogs. And it was during the same, the woman noticed something really strange.
Lonely
Fern would enjoy herself a lot in playdate but her happiness would fade away when she would make back home. Emily had noticed that. This is true that the pooch was getting loads of love in the house but still something was missing for her. The dog needed someone of her kind to play with. Emily had found the problem and now she needed to solve it.
New Dog
That kickstarted her journey of finding a new pooch. But this search was going to be quite difficult for her. This time she had some preconditions. Emily said, “It seemed that every dog we were finding in the shelters and adoption groups was either not good with small kids, or kitties, or was too old to keep up with our 1-year-old stinker.”
