Thank you Silver Lace, Maxdog, Shicks and Zoey Zendaya for sharing your thoughts. You all beautifully express the two perspectives I have going on in my head right now! In the past I've always felt 100% confident in the decision before getting a new puppy. I'm being more cautious this time which is a new experience for me. I don't feel stressed so much as indecisive, and I'm sure I'm still grieving. Most days now I feel ready to have another little Yorkie and it would be very well loved, but then those thoughts of "what if" intrude and I talk myself out of it. I think I may be answering my own question here. Maybe my head is willing but my heart needs just a little more time. If one fell into my lap I wouldn't say no, but!!
