I am so sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. I lost my Becca about 18 months ago after 11 wonderful years with her. My Alexander was heartbroken, he grieved so badly that I thought I was going to lose him to. They'd been raised together, played together, slept together, ate together - they were best friends. I made the decision to bring home a new puppy - not to replace Becca, because she can never be replaced. But to give us a reason to smile, a new being to love and make room in our hearts. Thank God, it worked, for both Alex and me. She kept him distracted, forced him to move and play, and I'm convinced she's what kept him alive. I know that getting another pup is not always an option, but it is something for you to consider. Best wishes.
