Doggie diary: The story of Rosie and Sophie From depression to joyous exhaust

It's about two months — Monday, in fact, was two months exactly — since we brought the pups home, expanding our household. I'm tired.

It's amazing the transformation in our mood. The nearly three months between the death of our beloved Honey girl and the arrival of our new prides and joys were marked by a low-grade depression, a sense that things were disrupted, that our world was incomplete.

The last two months, by contrast, have featured a great deal of joy — and a good measure of aggravation. But that was to be expected, even if we didn't prepare ourselves properly for the stress.

So, we've gone from depression to exhaustion. When do we get to make up for the lost sleep?
