Your post scares me because no dog should have to be the clone of another, no matter how wonderful. I say that with confidence, but I am guilty of exactly the same thing. My beloved Jami died a month ago after six months of sickness. His breeder followed the whole ordeal. A week ago he called and offered me a dog. I thought when I went to see him he would look just like Jami. I hoped he would....however, he was a different color, different size (smaller). The breeder quietly said, he is yours if you want him. I know you will grow to love him if you love him for who he is and not for who he isn’t. He said to take time and think about it. Well, Sunday I am going to pick up Finley. Jami lives in my heart forever, never to be replaced. Finley will move into my life Sunday and I am sure will someday join Jami in my heart.
Hope you find just the best dog for the dog and you. |
