With all this said it is never too soon to get another dog. Each person is different and only you know when the right time is for you. I am would have more yorkies if I could and am always looking to see which ones are available in my area for adoption on petfinder.com.

I still think about Boomer each and every day. I miss him terribly even though I only had him for a short period before he passed. Bella is a wonderful dog but cannot replace Boomer. I love her with all my heart in a different way. A new dog can bring such joy to a household. I say go for it if you feel lonely.
