I ended up not replying to W's texts at all, and she sent another unprompted text this morning from bed saying that our dog keeps looking for me in our guest room (W and I were switching off rooms after 2nd BD) along with another picture of him looking very sad. I replied, "I wish he was here with me" in a moment of weakness.

I know that I should be ignoring W's texts, but I really really like getting them. I know it sounds silly to many, but I do miss my dog a crazy amount. I've only sent replies to direct questions so far, except for my acknowledgement today. LRT is hard - I felt so strong about this yesterday and feel so much weaker and emotional today. Maybe a workout will help.
