Thank you all for the kind, warm, caring thoughts and support with my decision on bringing this little fireball home with me. You all have added so much happiness for me, in the way of your positive thoughts and words, I know without a doubt that this decision was sincerely meant to be.
While she does have a sweet, and somewhat gentle disposition, Zuzu is definitely NOT the gentle soul Polly was, and that is perfectly ok.....they all have their own little personalities, and I would actually not want her to be like my Polly.....Polly was absolutely one-of-a-kind.....Sally, I love your description of Zuzu taking no prisoners! You are so right, she is not afraid of anything yet, except for a barking neighbor dog at night that she can't see, but can hear......that does spook her a bit.
And yeah, Alison, Michelle, and Elizabeth, you all touched upon the sadness, and heartache of still missing our most beloved Tripawds, but how finding that new pup to help ease the pain and help the healing process would make my life happier and worthwhile again......I actually decided I was not going to pursue another female yellow Lab, and if one was coming home with me, it would happen completely by chance and unplanned.....that is exactly what happened and how I know she was meant for me........plus, my Polly definitely knew..........
We will enjoy one day at a time, and do our best to make each moment count......she already loves going for rides to wherever, including the vet, which is great, because we will have many trips there.........
Thank you all again, and my arm is also healing well, going to rehab to help it along.......I will be so very grateful for winter to be over......!!
Much Love to all,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, Pearl, and Zuzu
