A few days later I picked up her ashes and drove straight to the liquor store.

That was a horrible, horrible mistake.

She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Becoming the man she always knew I could be was the best way to honor her memory. She deserves no less.

Enjoy your time together and keep your eyes on the bigger picture.
What a cutie!

I went out to my car twice last night ready to go buy a six pack or a bottle or whatever... And I just stood there, so the last time I went back in got my dogs and let them run around outside for a little while.

Glad you stayed strong, jryan.

Quite a few people here at SR love to say:

"There is nothing so bad that drinking won't make worse.". It's true.

Hope you're doing better right now.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss my pup.

I smile now when thinking of him.

Golden doodle so a mix between golden retriever and poodle. Supposed to get friendliness from the golden and athleticism from poodle but he missed the day they were handing out that athletic gene. He trips over his feet, spins out when trying to run, goes around or under things instead of jumping over... but wouldn't trade him for another.

He'll watch tv for about 15 mins usually and just look for ear scratches the rest of the time.

What breed do you have? Part wolf?

Golden doodles are cool, thought about sharing my life with one myself. I once was at a rest stop and a trucker pulled up in his rig. I just happened to notice when he got out, A golden doodle! Very friendly dog.

Before I could find one, I came across a miniature schnauzer. He was pure bred and just needed a home. He got one, and I got a pal.

No matter the breed, they are all worthy. And they all seem to want their belly scratched lol.

My previous dogs were Golden retrievers, a mom and a pup. They spent 12 years with me and I miss them.

Sorry, sharing here about dogs. I hope things work out for you the best they can. Don't give up hope, my previous Golden Retrievers were supposed to leave me 3 yrs before they did
