WOW!
I just slept from about 9:45 until 9:15!
I can't remember the last time I slept that good!
The icing on my cake was I had 2 of my favorite people in my dreams right before I woke up.
I dreamed Ken was with me and for some odd reason we were cleaning food off the couch. He'd sat in it so I was getting it off his backside. (I think living with a 3 yr old is affecting me) This led to us discovering that we were hungry so I went to the fridge to find something to reheat. I found some leftovers, which was amazing because my fridge was FULL of desserts. Which it actually is right now. But in my dream it was full of all the desserts Lacey & I have baked up recently and that's saying something!
So I found some concoction to reheat for our supper and some how Bruiser was there with us! We knew he was dead but we were happy to see him! We kept looking at him, waiting for him to disappear but finally I turned to Ken and said, "it looks like he's staying for a bit" and approached him. I reached out to pet him and I could! So I set about petting his silky fur. I found 3 pieces of hot dogs stuck in his fur that I had to work out...not that Penelope eats hot dogs but the food here and there theme is familiar.
I've missed petting my pup. I was reminded of that during the day yesterday when I petted a friend's dog and felt like crying because it was the first time I'd handled a dog since Bruiser passed. Well my dreams gave me what I wished for and I got another nice petting session with my pup. I woke up feeling better.
It takes time. You never know when it's going to hit you sideways. But I also experienced some healing in my dreams. It was so nice spending some time with my puppy! I'm glad he stayed long enough for me to be brave enough to pet his silky fur again. Thanks pup. I miss you!!!
