I am so sorry for your loss of Buddy. Grieving is hard, and there is no right or wrong way to do it.... you just have to navigate your way through it and know that in time it won't hurt so much.
There is no way to replace a beloved pet, however, when the time is right bringing a new furry friend into your lives can bring so much joy and love, and yes companionship for your other doggie.
When one of my dogs died 5 years ago, I was devastated, but immediately started looking for another one. Six weeks later, I had a new little Yorkie girl to cuddle and care for, and she really helped me out of the dark hole of depression and grieving. She also perked up my 12 yr. old Schnauzer boy, who was missing his little friend.
Let your hearts continue to heal, and I hope that in time the good memories of your Buddy will be comforting and not just sad. |
