I suppose it is possible her smell is still there, despite multiple washings. But the fact it is still there, also tells you he is not the only one having a hard time letting go.
For me, I don't want to lose her memory, silly I know, I have pics, and videos, but that was her CRATE, hers alone. Just because she is not physically here, doesn't mean her crate needs to be put away.
We have the space for now, that it really isn't a problem per say. But I'm wondering if it would be better for Magic if I took it down. Razzle doesn't care at all, so it can't be smell, as Razzle has an amazing nose. It is prob memories for my senior boy.
But maybe soon in the next few months, I will be receiving a new young lass.... And I am thinking it might be best for all, if I pack up my courage along with her crate, and give her crate to our SPCA.
We have plenty of crates, gosh don't how we got em all, but we do have multiples of things. Different sized crates.
I just won't have a full size crate for the new one. Actually I need two. One for car, one for home or show. |
