I very much understand what you're saying. I know that it's tough to make this decision and I'm somewhat relieved that I know what to do. I didn't want to make my husband look like he just didn't want to keep a puppy because it was a puppy... So I'm sorry if I came across that way. I think he is just trying to cope with what is going on and trying to look out for us all for the future.

As much as I hated that he gave me the decision on whether or not we are going to keep the little girl, but I am glad he did. It made me figure out what I need/want in my life. I think my heart is still hurting, I miss my Georgia, and right now, Chewy is enough for me. I was willing to go through with the puppy, the shots, taking care of her. I love any and all pets that come into this home. I'd rather I make someone else happy with her, who is mentally ready for another dog. I think posting on this and talking with other people helped me realize it. I was ignoring that Georgia was gone and that wasn't healthy, and I thought I was ready for the little girl, when I wasn't. I want to give her to a home that can truly love her just as much as I could.

Thanks for your touching story and the advice, because I struggled with that for the last month since my baby girl passed away. I know I am sad now, but I'm also happy because I'm starting to heal, and I think I'm finally coming to terms that this is the right decision..:lovewings

You and your husband have to do what is right for both of you, and there are a lot of different feelings that go along with loss. I know my husband struggled with guilt of getting attached to another little girl, feeling disloyal to Cricket who had passed. He wanted another yet he felt guilt. I wanted another but was afraid I wouldn't attach or she wouldn't be "'the same". Everyone is different.

Am still feeling the way both you and your hubby were feeling...:(

Sorry for your loss of your baby, I don\'t think you are replacing her but you would still have a part of her to love if you kept one of her babies.

Thanks, it\'s very hard but also i\'m sure that once i know they are all in safe hands and owners, I will be more relieved. My mother-in-law wants one of the pups and if she really wants the little girl that would be good as well as I would see her all the time and I would know she would be happy with her. It breaks my heart playing with her because I want to keep her but I know that it just isn\'t the best at the time. I will keep you guys posted.
