So sorry about your loss. It is so difficult to go thru losing a pet (basically a "family member")
...... when our precious Lindsay passed away ( she was a very small Miniature Schnauzer) we decided the heart break was more than we could stand and were NOT going to get another dog..... just couldn't go thru it again. Then after about 6 months of the silence in our home, we couldn't stand it any longer. Now we have Shelby & Seymour.... both Yorkies.
We thought that Linds could NEVER be replaced..& she couldn't.... but we now have 2 sweet adorable tributes to her! They have completely different personalities... ( Lindsay was always into the "obedience" thing.... walking at my left heel and loved to please..... Shelby & Seymour are completely free-spirits!!...) Don't wait.... our vet told me when Lindsay passed away, that the best thing to do was to find another friend and give it a loving home. I thought that he was being harsh.... afterall I had just lost my friend!..... but he was right. Giving a new home to a furkid is the greatest tribute one can give to a lost friend.
