She should have met him and see if they connected. One error shouldn't sink a potentially nice relationship. Now she will never find out unless she calls him back. Hope your friend is ok.
Getting out of bed is such a hard task for those who are deeply depressed. I am sorry for the loss of your daughter. Her horse and dog were a Godsend to you.
Maybe the dog is being used as an excuse as to why your brother is not socializing. He may need you to dig deeper and see what's really bothering him. Best of luck to him.
I'm depressed everyday and today was no different. My neighbor got a new dog...a Great Dane and I went over and petted him. My day was completely turned around.
I had a dog named Casey who died 3 years ago. I miss her and even my nickname on CS is attributed to her. I still can't get another dog partly because I am not ready for it yet emotionally but seeing that dog today is making me rethink the situation.
