I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost Max last November to a coyote and was devastated - he was so much a part of our lives. Let yourself grieve however you need to. 3 weeks after he died, my husband had some friends who had just had a littler of yorkies and they talked us into coming over just to look, well, Abby licked my nose and I decided then and there I still wanted a furbaby in my life. We brought her home a few months later. She has her own personality and has not replaced Max, but has brought us so much joy. Please don't spend time feeling guilty, I went over and over the scenario in my mind - what I should have done if I could change things, but it only caused more pain. All you can do now is honor your baby's memory and love your new puppy.
