I am so sorry for the loss of your Barkley. I lost my heart dog right at 5 years ago and I still miss her to pieces. I was in bad shape for like a half a year and finally decided I needed another dog to love on and to love me. I wish I hadn't waited so long because he really helped heal my heart. I will always love, miss, and think about her but I'm not catatonic anymore. I realized that having another dog is not replacing your lost one...it's just giving yourself more love. We are all (humans and animals) capabable of sharing so much love (it's an endless supply).

Now, my 2 dogs are in my heart, too. I love them so much and my world pretty much revolves around them. You'll know when the time is right for you.
