Just an update from Dudley's mom...

Hi everyone,

I still lurk here all the time - I am friends with you all yet you probably hardly know me. I have never figured out how to post a photo on here (not for lack of trying) so I don't really post much overall.

I wanted to update those who remember Dudley (we lost him on June 12th due to an undiagonosed Splenic Tumor which caused him to fall which resulted in a collapsed lung).

I decided to go a different route with a new puppy because every single time I look into a newf's eyes, I see Dudley and cry. So, that just wouldn't be fair to a new baby. I left it up to the Universe as to when and it was all over the place (end October, then March, and then suddenly out of the blue - end of September).

So, on September 24th (Sunday), we will be welcoming home Demo's baby brother - Duncan. He is a male, harlequin Great Dane. :D

If someone would be kind enough to dumb down posting photos for me, I would love to show him off. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, everyone!

I did want to tell you about a dream I had a few nights after we visited and picked out Duncan - my first one since June 12th when Dudley passed suddenly. In the dream, I was in the kitchen talking with someone and felt something on my hand. I looked down and Dudley was sitting there, sitting up begging (he never did this in real life). In the dream, I was aware that he had passed on and this was a GIFT. I held his paw like I used to and then he literally hugged me. We fell to the floor and I scratched his belly and enjoyed every second of it.

I remember waking up and whispering THANK YOU to his ashes & photo on the bookshelf in my bedroom. I knew he had visited me and it was great.

While I still cannot talk about him without crying, I can look at his memorial shelf in my office (photo, his purple ball that survived his whole life, his collar) and smile. He was such a gift and such a great dog!

I am very glad that the Universe chose me to spend his life with. And I feel that he has given me the OK for Duncan, too. I ordered a Yellow stuffed Duck Toy as his first toy (online) and when it came, it was purple. Just like Dudley's purple ball was the 1st toy I bought for Dudley before he came home. There was never even an option of colors as the actual toy description was YELLOW DUCK. So, I think Dudley sent a message to me and I am officially keeping the Purple Duck (even though it's kind of the ugliest thing I've ever seen - purple duck with orange feet).

Your post hit close to home for me. I lost Rocky in May and although not sudden it is still very difficult at times. I have been wanting to get another pal for Raven because she does miss her buddy so much but I am still not able to go there. Not sure I will be getting another Newf when the time comes either. Rocky was the most amazing dog to me and the bond we had was incredible. Glad you are getting another pal. Your dream you described sounded great! Dudley is with you for sure. :)

I would love to have a Dane, and then when he's settled maybe you will be up for another Newf. I found that they are each individuals and I never compared them, and I am also finding that while Moonlight was the be all, end all Newf, so were my previous girls, and I can see getting another.
