I think Holly is probably also reacting to yours and your wife's grief. And that is completely NORMAL!

As time goes by and things get back to a normal routine (not saying the sadness won't be there..I still mourn the loss of my Pom from almost 7 1/2 years ago), she will start back into a normal routine, too.

If she doesn't, THEN I would look into other options.

Bottom line, you will know when you are ready for another. If you aren't ready now, that will just add more chaos and confusion for Holly. Take it day by day. That's all you can do.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your pup. May Buddy Rest In Peace.
