My mother thought that getting me another dog 2 months after Buttons died would help me get over him faster. But I do the same thing you worried about doing, I compare them. Ziggy's great and of course I love him, but every once and a while he'll do something (like cutting his eyes at me when he's annoyed) and its such a shock, reminds me so much of Buttons. It hurts more than helps sometimes. When we first got him, 8weeks, he was so little and depended on me so much, and all I saw was NOT BUTTONS. I would break down and cry sooo much when he first came.
Ziggy is turning out to be NOTHING like Buttons. Buttons was laid back and ready to do anything with me. Ziggy is more independent. What do you expect when you get an Aquarius?
Here's something cool about Ziggy though, he was born on my birthday. I like to think that when I picked Buttons up and we blew out my candles, Ziggy was being born, my new little partner. Maybe that's what Buttons was wishing for when we blew out the candles.
