Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I'm not going to get up from the chair at the moment to get the camera ,as I know she will get up too , but she has her head buried in her bed and is fast alseep even though Teddy is barking at anything thats moving past the house and I live on a main road... .I was warned about loads of things , Cats , Off lead , but never about crying when I saw her again or the sudden jump on the kitchen worktop ,I still can't get my head round just how quickly she did that and still can't believe she did , but then those are the moments that are irreplaceable and just exactly why I got another dog

Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
This is a shortened ( yes I did say shortened) version of why Im giving Carrie an addition to her name ... The day Eve died after I came home and had an hour or so with Teddy I went into work , as soon as I got into work , ( work was the best thing to distract myself) a song was on the tannoy, I had heard it before and didnt know who it was , a week later I found out it was coldplay Paradise , this inspired a name for a new dog , I would call her EDEN , Im sure you will get the connection Eve , Eden and Paradise Inbetween I had met Sue from Jordan Bear charity and got the idea of getting a retired Greyhound , I could never justify just going out and buying a puppy then a few weeks later, I went off the idea of having a new dog I was still upset about Eve , as I still get moments even today and probably will for years to come. Then another couple of weeks went by and after a visit at work from Sue , I found the Daybreaks website and there was a cute Little Girl , Called Carrie ,I phoned my boss at work , who has been very supportive about Eve and was telling her and she said I should get off my bum and go and see Carrie, so I did and Teddy and I fell in love with her.. A few days after the RGT home visit I was listening to Coldplay Paradise and looking at Carries picture and something suddenly clicked , it was like a brick hitting me in the face.... My boss who may be retiring early , this year , said I would get something to keep her memory alive with me she is a Great Lady and her Name is.."Cari Eadon" , and the name I had thought of ,about a week after Eve died was Eden and here is a dog called Carrie So Carries new Name is Carrie Eden , which means Joy in Paradise a name ,which my boss says she feels strangely honored about ...and as for me , after Eves sent me even more signs and strange co-incidences than I have written about , a Dog I feel honored that Eve has sent for me to love , nothing will ever replace Eve and Carrie has nothing to live up to since Eve was Eve and Carrie is Carrie I truly believe that Eve has chosen Carrie for me ,Carrie, is her own unique and special Character and Im looking forward to sharing my years with Carrie Eden.... thanks Eve , for nudging me in the right direction and finding a special dog for me...

Well , not without a couple of teething issues , Cari is finally home , shes had a grumble at Ted and Teds had a grumble at her , but shes found her bed on her own and found where she has water without any coaxing at all. Shes met my nieghbour and she is currently sleeping , its now my intention to try and ignore her for a day or so , actually Ignore them both , just correct any mis behaivour and reward any good behaviour and just try and ignore the both of them for a few days and although shes jumped on my bed , My bed is now out of bounds again for both dogs when Im in it ( i have been letting Teddy sleep with me for the past few weeks) Anyway once they were reintroduced My neighbour and I bought Teddy and Carrie into the house and straight into the garden, and after a while of being off leads ( luckily my nieghbour was still with me) Carrie without warning , spotted her food on the kitchen windowsill and in a flash she was stood all fours on top of the counter , so it made sense to separate the dogs and feed them both , which was a bit difficult becuase she was still muzzled and I had to get that off , but luckily Alison was here and lend a hand... Although , as I write , the signs are good , about half an hour ago , I went to the kitchen for some food and she kept putting her paws on the counter and trying to get it , so several times I just pushed her away and said down , and Ive just been back down for some more and not once did she make any attempt to put her feet on the counter.... It is a bit scarey though just how fast she is , she was on the counter without warning in a heartbeat ( which luckily for me I was next to a power socket to jumpstart my Heart) and gets from the bottom of the stairs to the top in about 2 steps... Thanks Ruth and everyone at Daybreaks for getting me this far and lovely to meet you "LadyVictoria" today... I have a stonking sinus headache now Next up , why Carrie is getting a new addition to her name
