It will repair the empty feeling ...trust me.. And besides you have your health and I wish I did so that I can be around long enough to have more dogs to enjoy I think about death everyday I had breast cancer stage 2b that traveled to my bones and its incurable. I have a rod in my left leg because the cancer fractured my femur Im also looking at a knee replacement and a hip replacement the cancer is also in my back so it will never go away. You dont know how lucky you are until someone else has a worse situation right?? So go for it and dont feel bad anymore .. you didnt MEAN it or do it on purpose altho it must have really torn you apart.  Turn the frown upside down and keep living |
Hi Regi, thank you so much for your kind words and advice (and to everyone else as well).
I did write a thread in general dog forms titled "right or wrong???" It was asking advice on if I should get another dog so soon. Anyway we have decided to go ahead with this little chap and I will be picking him up in about 6 weeks he will be about 3 months or so by then. I have booked myself a holiday and have asked my friend to hold onto him until I get back. None of the family can seem to get over the loss of Max and I think a new dog will help. This is the first pet I ever lost and its amazing how attached you actually become. We only had him for 4 months but loved him dearly. The hardest part was listening to people who are not dog owners constantly telling me "look could have been worse, it could of been a child" YES this is very true but it does not make the pain any easier.
Anyway here is a picture of the little chap who we have strangely named Ziggy!! Dont ask me where that name came out of. He is 6 weeks old in this picture and I went to see him the other day for the first time in a week and he is very very attached to me which is very odd, if I moved he followed me around and cuddled up to me even tho there were a few others in the same room, he seems to have taken to me. I think its ment to be folks
