yes you and susielynn are totally correct. This 3 year period has been the first time that I didn't have a dog in my life. It has been hard but everytime I would even look at available pups I would be much too heartbroken and feel like I was "replacing" my baby. Growing up, we had the family pet pass away and yes I was terribly sad. But, when we did get a new dog I never felt guilty
I guess because I know he IS alive SOMEWHERE out there with someone who I don't know if they are treating him good or if he is being bred or something (he wasn't fixed because his breeder had asked if she could possibly breed him later on, and I agreed) - it is even a bit harder for me then him actually passing.
As I said, I've been looking for 6 months, and it may take 6 months more but the fact that I am looking and actually getting excited and preparing is a great feeling. I am hopefully going to get one in September because I am taking two int'l trips in August and want to wait so I can have 100%time and attention to the new puppy. I
I am just glad I have a place with folks who actually understand where I am coming from, my non-pet owning co-workers look at me crazy when I tell them for 3 years I've been mourning my stolen yorkie.
