I hope after you read all these posts, that you are feeling better about the whole situation. Your Max wouldn't want you to feel guilty and who knows...maybe he picked Bailey out and sent him to you.
Maybe you compare Bailey to Max but before long his individuality will emerge and you will love him just as much. Maybe your husband brought him home before you thought you were ready, but things happen for a reason and I think Bailey will go a long way to make you feel better. After all, it's pretty hard to feel bad when you're playing with a yorkie puppy.
Take a look at this website:

Raymond was 12 years old when Ullrica had to put him to sleep. He had a bad heart too. She loved him so much and I don't cry easily but cried when I read that he was gone. I was so happy when she got Little Teddy. Raymond calls him his apprentice and it's almost like Raymond is still there with them, coaching Little Teddy along. Just a little while ago, she added little Freddy to her family. I hope you enjoy the website and please vote for it as she requests. That's her tribute to Raymond, who brought her so much joy.
