Sounds like you two really have a bond and the two of you might need each other in several ways. I know what it is like to have the bond develop between you and a dog and it is nothing you can describe and it defies practical considerations. If possible, it would be lovely if you can keep her, your sweet girl's girl. It would likely help you get through some of your grief - having this little puppy to have such fun with. But if not, you will find a way to go on with Chewy and Fred, missing her but that will lessen over time. Sometimes things can't work out like we'd best like and it can really hurt but you do find a way forward. Not always as fun, though.
