Looking deep into Daisy's eyes I can tell she still misses her companion Dharma, however I think she has come to terms that Delilah is here to stay. Every night that we let the dogs inside for play and cuddle time Daisy is beginning to respond to Delilah play requests. They grab each end of a toy to tug and wrestle. When she has had enough Daisy retreats to the back ledge of the couch for some calm time. Using her paws Delilah lightly taps Daisy prompting her "come on, I wanna play more" she evens barks at her to edge her down.
I too miss Dharma immensely, the simplest of things can trigger memories then the teary emotions take over. To nurture our relationship Delilah and I had a mummy and puggy day. Phil dropped off Daisy to my mums to have a play date with Abby. We went for a drive to watch Phil play football where she got lots of admiring looks and cuddles from kids wanting to hold her and take her for a walk.
At the start of the drive she wouldn't sit still not happy on the passengers seat wanting to be on my lap, however the longer we drove the dopier she got, content to rest her head and just watch me straining to keep her eyes open.
She has become my little shadow, especially when inside at night, if i get up off the couch to do something she is at my feet. Even when one night I was finishing a uni assignment she she stood at my side with her tail between her legs until I picked her up to lie on my lap whilst I typed.
