My cousins fur baby Pointer (which is Little Mans biological brother but from another litter) was hit by an 18 wheeler yesterday morning.
She and her 6yr old son was trying to get Pointer out of the road, and they witnessed the whole thing. They are having a very hard time handling it, especially her son. Her son (when they would go to town) would introduce Pointer has his brother. He was so attached to Pointer. They had Pointer since he was 3 months old. He was 9 months old. It just about killed me when I seen him so tore up, screaming and crying.
She asked me what she should do, if she should go ahead and get another puppy to help with her sons grief or should wait. I told her I didn't know because I was attached to Pointer myself.
Now here's where I need ya'll to help me out with your wisdom. Would it help if she were to get another fur baby to help her son with his grieving? I do know she's grieving just as much as her son, but she's not letting it show for her sons sake.
