I understand your feelings completely. I can also tell you that everything that Angie said is almost exactly how I felt. It still hurts and I suppose it will always hurt. It's just that the pain dulls over time. Don't let your feelings of guilt take away from your relationship with your new puppy. This is where you have to compartmentalize your emotions and keep Max in one special place in your heart and Bailey in another special place. This is something that men are more easily able to do than us women. IMO and experience, Bailey will help you get over your broken heart and your normal feelings of guilt if you will just let him. He's a bundle of love sent from above. Bless you.
