No other pup could ever "replace" Max. As each dog has their individual personalites.
My neice lost their dog last year. With the whole house still greiving, the folks where her husband worked took up a collection, and got them another dog. Same type of dog Mina was.
They really felt guilty, and not ready to do this again, but couldn't refuse the new puppy, once it'd been given to them.
They named the new dog Max! But being kinda forced into this they started training Max, and really have learned to love him. No, he's nothing like Mina was, but seems to have covered that gaping hole in thier hearts.
It will take some time to get used to a new pup, and learn to love it. That doesn't come overnight. But I feel you have plenty of love to give Bailey, and as soon as your ready, Bailey is there to help you fill that "void" in your life.
I'm sure your spouse didn't do this to "replace" Max. But must have felt you still had a lot of love to give another pet. Seems we all love our pets, like children though. Each one in a different way.
You all had me boohooing too, here! I am new here, and tried to read the fallen yorkie colomun the other day, and started crying so hard, knew I couldn't read anymore. |
