[QUOTE=coffeechloe;1225835]Hi Allan

Initially, I felt like you, I thought I was disrespecting Chloe and I was a traitor but then I turned it around, I told Chloe (I talk to her picture sometimes) that I had brought Oscar into the house as a tribute to her and to the other dogs I have lost. I also "talked" to Oscar about this brothers and sisters who would have loved to have met him. It sounds silly I know but it has helped me.

I believe we all have those feelings, but we honor our pups when we share love with another animal. Bless you and thank you for sharing your deepest feelings. Warmly, Deborah

The breeder has been raising the puppies in her house, but took them outside to her fenced in puppy area for them to play a little bit!

Once we bring her home, I will be taking tons of pictures. I still regret not having taken enough of my little Zackie.

Congratulations, Allan and Heidi: PS We have Home Depot in Seattle, and I purchased 4x8 foot lengths of heavy duty white lattice for my patio. It is attractive and Charlie cannot get out. Tied them together with heavy duty ties. Thanks to your advice, I now feel 100% safe if he wants to sit outside.

OMG! I can just smell all that puppy breath!!! They are too cute. I'm so glad you decided to get another pup. No dog will ever replace my precious Chester, but I love all my current babies to death and wouldn't trade them for anything.

We look forward to lots of pics!

I am now just reading this,and I cried reading these posts. The loss of your furbaby is felt like the loss of a human. I am so happy that you are getting another dog and may help you heal your heart. I wish you well in the future and always know that Zackie is right with you insie your heart.

judyeve · 07-16-2007, 08:50 AM

The new puppy is precious! No heart is too small that it can't love another dog.

Allan · 07-16-2007, 09:41 AM

As for the name... We have not been telling anyone yet what we are going to name her, but it only seems fitting that I tell everyone on YT since I have shared so much here (and received so much support in return). Anyway, we are planning on calling her.... Yoyo. There is a history to the name though. First, we were considering getting a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. We thought the name Yodel made sense. We then decided her nickname would be Yoyo. Finally, we changed our mind to a lab, but the name stuck. (Granted, we only met the puppy once, so we might change our minds based on her personality, but most likely Yoyo it is!)

Congrats on the new puppy - I'm sure she will help with the loss of Zackie - Enjoy her !!!

TinyBit · 07-17-2007, 06:32 AM

What sweet babies faces they have.
I know that getting Gizmo helped me get though the long days.
I still cry alot, but now I have someone to hold while I cry.
Good luck Allen.

I'm kind of liking the name Yoyo...very unique!!!

dave54 · 07-17-2007, 09:40 PM

Thanks Allan for the kind words in the other thread. I do read the threads every day. You are setting the bar for me. (a little high right now, but soon it wont be so high)

A guy I know has a highly trained yellow lab. He named the girl lab after a miner's best friend... Brandy (thats what he told me). I've watched him training his lab for hand signals, whistle signals, and voice commands. The lab can find a raw egg and bring it back without breaking it. I believe the dog is smarter than a 5th grader. lol

GL with the pup.

nvnvgirl · 07-21-2007, 10:17 AM

I love the name Yoyo...that's really cute and different! And I have to say also, that your choice of "Yodel" for a Swiss Mountain Dog was really great too...love them both! Good luck with the new addition to your family; you're such a caring owner, I know you won't need it though!

MaxwellHouse · 07-21-2007, 03:55 PM

You ought to read Marley & Me. I heard it on tape, and his voice was a bit nasally, but the stories about his new LAB puppy made you laugh and cry.
Love the photo!

Marley and Me is the best book EVER!! I bought a copy and after I read it I passed it around my circle of friends and havent seen it since...that was about 8 months ago...my Mom even LOVED IT and passed it to her friends and she HATES dogs lol...they are making it into a movie also but make sure you read the book...especially good for Lab owners but a great book for dog lovers alike!!

Allan · 07-24-2007, 09:27 AM

Hi all,
A few things - first, I plan on getting Marley & Me. We were watching the dog whisperer a few weeks back, and Cesar was visiting the author of the book. (His new lab was not behaving well....) Second, despite the imminent arrival of our new puppy (Yoyo), I still get really sad when I think about Zackie. I cried realy hard this past Sunday for the first time in a while. Although the pain lessens, it never truly disappears. Third, here is another, newer pic of our new puppy. (She is the one on the left.) We are picking her up a week from Friday!
