Thanks again for the wonderful replies. You all sure know how to make someone feel at home
Chestersmom - I bet Dexter and Chester are running wild and having fun as I type. I know he has met many other wonderful fur babies and is working on missing us as much as we miss him.
I have thought about getting another one but don't know where to start, I looked online for about an hour last night and even found one that looked like Dexter......had to wake my husband up and show him the picture. I just don't know where to begin and worry that a new one may not take to me like Dexter did. He was MY baby from the moment he rode home with us. He slept with me, followed me - I am afraid that a new one may stick to my son and sleep with him. That would probably crush me right now. Plus in some way I feel like I am "dissing" Dexter by putting someone else in my life and bed.
Thanks again for all the support - you people are wonderful !!!
