I need help as I am unsure what to do. I lost my Miniature SChnauzer 2 years ago. I didn't think I would make it through it until I got my beautiful little Belle (morkie) she joined our family which consisted of our Lab who became Belle's "brother". This past September we lost our Lab, I still can't get over that. I have problems with depression anyway and this is making it worse. We always left TJ (Lab) home with Belle, she would be in her crate and we knew she was safe as TJ adored her and would never let anyone harm her or take her. Now without TJ to be with her when we are gone, I can't bring myself to leave Belle alone. We always put her in her crate and cover her up and she is quiet and sleeps until we get home. I just can't do it. If we have to go somewhere, Belle goes with and one of us waits in the car with her. I keep stating my case that if we got a sister or brother for Belle I'd feel better about leaving her home as she wouldn't be alone. My DH laughs at me like a Yorkie is going to guard her. I think it's more the point that she wouldn't feel alone. Please help, any opinions would be appreciated.
