Dear Allan. You described your feelings perfectly, and Zak will always be your first pup and first love. As the months progress, the tears lessen but will reappear and go ahead and cry because they will help wash away the ache. A different breed is commonly advised so there isn't a comparison and I know you will grow to love your newest member as strongly as Zak.
Take good care and Zak is watching over you, Allan. Can you feel his presence? Warmly, Deborah |
