A New Beginning

I don't care what anyone says you never get over the loss of a pet.  We lost Chase in December of 2019  He was almost 19 years old.  Our world was changed forever.  Then in February of 2020 the Covid Pandemic hit.  Life as we knew it took on a whole new meaning.  The new norm was working from home, standing in lines to go into the supermarket, and masking it up.  Wow!  I took a hiatus from writing and believe I was going thru some kind of depression, as was the rest of the world.

In August of 2020 Chelsea passed away one week after turning 18.  We were devastated all over again.  Our home became very quiet.  Having pups had changed our lives.  They were always in the thick of things.  They had become so entrenched in our lives it was hard to get used to all that quiet which at times was deafening.

Tom and I had discussed getting another dog but we both knew that we weren't ready.  Eleven months later enter Chi Chi.  My daughter and son-in-law had adopted her as her previous owner could not keep her.  They brought her on vacation with us and it was love at first sight.  Chi Chi took to me instantly.  We became almost glued to the hip.  

Chi Chi is a six pound Chaweenie.  She is an adorable little love muffin.  Suddenly our hearts opened wide to accepting another pup into our lives.  A month and a half later Chi Chi officially came home with us to stay.  She is a bundle of pure energy and keeps us on our toes.  She catches on easily and has learned several phrases.  

Just when you think you can't open your heart again that ray of sunshine comes bursting through!  That is our little Chi Chi aka Cheech.  Welcome home Cheech!
