Everyone is different but here is my personal experience. 6 months after my Brandi passed.......I got Duchess and I will say for the first month I couldn't bond with her......not because of anything she was doing but because I keep comparing her to Brandi. I thought I had gotten another furbaby to soon after Brandi's death and I felt like I had made a mistake. I also felt very guilty about allowing myself to love her because even though I knew mentally she wasn't replacing Brandi, my heart felt like I was betraying Brandi
I wanted her to be like Brandi......once I was able to stop comparing her to Brandi, I was able to bond with her and 2.5 years later I could not imagine my life without her. If you do decide to get a new pup now especially another yorkie, just try not two compare the two......it will be so much easier to bond and to love the new pup's quirks and personality. |
