Aww Georgia girl!

I agree with the posts. I think you need to keep her. Your not replacing Georgia, but instead allowing her legacy to continue on through the little puppy you have the connection with. I think there is a darn good reason that you have that connection with the little girl and I think you need to follow your heart on this one.
I think your husband is simply thinking about his emotions with regards to the new little girl. I think he may be feeling guilty about loving this little girl and wondering if she would be in fact "replacing" Georgia in his eyes. My husband did the same thing when he lost his beagle, basically tried to mirror his emotions back at me.

When you get a new puppy or dog, it doesn't replace any of the ones you lost. Instead it begins to heal that hole in your heart. And eventually, when you see your little one do something cute or naughty you and your husband will laugh and say "Aww, that makes me think of Georgia when she us to..." and it'll bring that smile to your face.

Good luck!
Follow your heart!
And keep us updated. We're thinking and praying for you!
