A New Profile Photo
Fluffy Tyler!
Today marks six weeks that Tyler has been in his new home. It also marks his first visit to Aunt Tracy, our groomer par excellence. Not that she could do much more than even up the bad haircut he got when the dogtor treated him for parvo. But she did the best she could with what she had to work with, and I must say that Tyler is looking very handsome and fluffy today!
I haven’t been in a hurry to change my profile photo from Bailey to Tyler, but maybe it’s time. I think Bailey would be pleased with the way Tyler is running me ragged with his demands, and it seems right to start including him in my online life.
So today we took some photos:
Tyler & Bev--our new profile photo!
I have updated my “About Me” page and you’ll now see the new profile photo of me and the new little man in my life.
This is really such a small thing, and yet it feels like I’m making such an enormous change in my life. I’ll never forget Bailey. But this silly little change of profile photo is a new indication that my sweet girl is gone and will not be back. Another step in that whole “stages of grief” thing, I guess.
Maybe I’ll go cuddle Tyler for a while.
I love the new pic! We all know that you won’t ever forget Bailey. She was a special dog that had a very special place it your heart. It’s not a little thing at all. Grief can be a long process. It’s so wonderful that you’ve been able to open your heart to little Tyler. He’s a very lucky pup. Cute too
It’s so hard to take even small steps sometimes but moving on doesn’t mean you have forgotten Bailey.
OMG, has it been six weeks already????? He is just the CUTEST little thing!!!!
I am so happy for you. Suspect Bailey led you to Tyler. They say having a Bichon is like having a toddler, having had one it is very true…good luck and many blessings on both of you.
Thank you all so much for your kind words! Tyler sends puppy kisses!
Cute, cute, cute! I do love the “photo booth” nature of the pictures, and you both look adorably happy together!
I understand your reluctance to replace Bailey’s photo. For the longest time, I had a picture of Danny as my cell phone wallpaper. Now, it shows Cooper and Otis.
I still think about Danny a lot and I try to believe he would be happy that we rescued 2 more dogs. I think Bailey would feel the same.
Tyler is adorable and you look so happy together!
You are heard about the grief process, Bev! My step was replacing my desktop wallpaper from my old kitty, Taffy (I love you, little girl!), to my newer kitty, Moby. It was hard, but she will always be my little “maumau.”
Know that you are not alone!

Thanks Marcie! Funny you should mention desktop wallpaper–I still have Bailey on my desktop, but I’ve added Tyler’s photo too!
