death of the dogs & new beginnings

I had two dogs. A year and a half ago I discovered my husband's affair and one week later my dear sweet  female  dog was dead. My husband did not hold me or cry with me. He was too busy hanging out with his new gf. Now, a year and a half later, our divorce is almost final and my second sweet dog, is dead suddenly from a fast growing cancer. My husband did not hold me or cry with me- not that I expected it. I had already been looking for a second dog, so since I was suddenly dog-less, I did not wait. Today I bring home a pup from a shelter. As soon as I saw her photo I was intrigued by her. As soon as I met her I knew she was "the one". So, I will begin the next chapter of my life without the dogs I shared with my stbx, and this dog will never be shared with him. We still have children, shared, but OH so little else! Here's to new beginnings and a beautiful friendship with someone I KNOW will be loyal and appreciate me!
