Thanks guy,
Its been just over a week and I still get a little down when I realise he isnt here or i realise I can whistle or go to the kichen with out thinking about if he'll follow me.
BUT.... I have to man up and get it together. So last night I went to the pool where he went swimming and asked about them having a favorite rescue center. I came home and washed out his bed and his bowls, stuck his collars, leads and toys through the washing machine and bagged up his treats and food.
All his stuff (thats too big for jack) will be going to a place called Happier Days For Strays. The woman said that they would be happy to get super sized stuff cos they get alot of tiny little leaders and stuff and they are no good for the giants. I'm going to buy them a slab of meat and a big bag of kibble too.
When I got home and started i was sad to get rid of the things that reminded me of him but happy that they would be helping to give another lost scared dog a better start.
