So very sorry for your loss. Rascal is adorable. Everyone grieves differently, some ppl need more time , some ppl need to fill that void in their heart. Don't feel guilty by thinking of getting another baby to nourish and love. You took the best care of little Rascal, loved him unconditionally and was your best friend. No dog can EVER REPLACE a lost one, each has their on personality. Rascal will stay in your heart and thoughts forever. Don't deny yourself the love of another baby. My girl left me at 17 years old, I swore no more dogs, losing them never gets easier. 6 weeks after she passed my vet took in a rescue, a little 2.5 yo boy. She pleaded with me to "just come to see the dog". I had no plans of ever getting another dog, to appease my vet because she thought of me when she got this little guy I went to "just see the dog" and ended up taking him home. He helped ease the pain my losing my girl, he filled that empty hole in my heart, he made my house a home again, and took me from a very dark place. He rescued me. I never felt guilty, I loved my girl with all my heart, I gave her the BEST life I could, just as you did with Rascal. If you feel you want another baby.....go for it and never feel guilty. (((hugs)))
