I'm so glad you came back on here. The support on here can be so helpful and healing for you. As for getting another, I think when you feel ready that would be a great idea. It's true, these little ones can have some issues, but the joy that they give far outweighs any of that. I don't understand your mother getting upset with you for keeping the other dog overnight, but you do what you need to for your heart to heal. Praying for you and your little angel Maddie.
