Welcome. My heart goes out to you in your time of loss. We lost our humane society lab mutt after 13 years, and I still cried talking about him for 2 years after that. It took us 5 years to get another dog although I wanted one right away, my husband couldn't stand thinking about the loss and how he didn't want to go through that again. We ended up with our silky yorkie mix so we wouldn't constantly be comparing him to our last dog. I think getting over the loss is so individualized, but we wouldn't give anything for Huey. He has brought so much love and joy to our lives that I can't imagine how I was without a dog for 5 years. Good luck in your search for the perfect new companion. |
