Welcome! Your story brought tears to my eyes. I am currently going through the same situation. I lost my Gus 2 1/2 years ago and it was too hard on me. He was my right hand man.
I seen this cute little thing at an event of mine and realized I was ready to move on. And that's when I found Leiloni. I was still a bit uneasy about it and I do know it wont be Gus,,, there will NEVER be another Gus. But my fear was that I would not be able to open my heart to another without comparing it to him. But I did figure out that I can and DID open my heart for another. She's only 4 week old and wont be able to come home till next month but my breeder (the same one I got my Gus from) sends me weekly pictures and keeps me informed with any little new thing she dose. Best experience ever! I wish you much luck in your search and once again,,,, welcome!
