I do not think getting a puppy following the loss of a puppy is disrespectful in any way. It seems more of an honor...same as when we get a second or third puppy while our first puppy still lives. To me, we do it because we love them. You love Chloe...you always will, but love...true love...is not so exclusive as to prevent you from loving a new puppy, even in her absence. Please do not feel that you are obligated to suffer loss when another puppy also needs a loving home you can provide. The decision is yours alone, but I hope you will allow yourself a logical, loving, guilt free decision, whatever you decide. Hugs, and my sincere condolences on losing sweet
