About Me
- Tommo
- Bohemian hermit recluse hiding in the mist-shrouded hills and backwoods of central France; went to art school in the mid-Sixties and never really left; masochistic supporter of Aldershotnil FC; fascinated by the mystery of disappearing odd socks; follically, cosmetically and vertically challenged but horizontally unchallenged, otherwise perfect (it says here); probably one of the luckiest geezers in the whole wide world.
Not sure what happened but I did leave a message on the last post! Just to say my thoughts are with you, I have had to say goodbye to so many pets of different kinds over the years. It never gets easier. Give Jock my love. Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks for both your messages even though I only received one! Yes, it ain't easy when they're gone. Jock's being very spoilt at the moment.
DeleteTommo, Jock is grieving too. Take him for longer walks than usual, and talk to him and tell him Sprocket is no longer here....spend more quality time with him...he has lost his friend.
ReplyDeleteAlthough whenever one of my bow wows passed, it always took a little while for the others to settle back down. All he knows is that you took Sprock for a ride in the car, and he did not come back with you.
He will probably be sensing/seeing Sprock in spirit when he's barking into the distance.
Make much of him, so he does not become depressed.
Thinking of you all every day.
Jock's getting walked as usual and, I think, is getting used to being on his own. Now Sprock's gone I've started taking Jock with me when I pop round the neighbours' for an evening aperitif. Seems to get on well with (er, tolerate) their impish little long-haired dachshund bitch. Took him downtown for bread and a coffee the other day. Can't really leave him at home when I go out, wouldn't be right. Am trying to keep him occupied without spoiling the little git!
DeleteIt makes you wonder how much dogs do remember and for how long. Jock is obviously waiting for Sprocket to come home. I wonder if he's missing him in the same way as you do, with great sadness, or if it just seems odd to him that he's not there.
ReplyDeleteHe's probably just a bit confused at the moment but he's slowly getting used to being on his own, not that I leave him on his own that often, only when he's left in the car for a few minutes when I pop into the supermarché. I think he's gradually getting the hang of it.
DeleteI love the new Header photo of Sprocket....
ReplyDeleteHope you and Jock are doing okay....you need each other now more.
Take care.
A pretty little picture, huh? Yeah, we're doing fine thanks. And thanks for your wishes. Much appreciated.
