Lost another one

[rondog]

Shelter dogs are a good option too! I don't know about you guys, but even as much as I love my Beagles, if we lost one of them I'd be looking to replace her ASAP to fill the hole in our hearts. Not to mention a companion for the grieving surviving dog.

Just my opinion, but seems to me the best way to heal the hurt of losing a dog you loved dearly is to get another one you can love just as dearly, and get one quickly. At least that's what I'd want to do. Having dogs is just too cool, I don't ever want to NOT have a dog around anymore.

Thanks man. I agree that dogs need dogs, and I'm concerned for our sole survivor, JD. We just can't bring ourselves to get puppies (as much as we'd love one), with all the shelter dogs waiting for homes. Our last few dogs have found us when we weren't even looking, and I expect our next one will find us too. They're usually pretty weathered, and probably not "adoptable" by most standards, but to be fair, that description applies to me as well. For now, I can't even think of looking.

Just had to put my westy down in January. Its funny when I was younger I always had to be the tough one and do that chore, but damn it I still get choked up thinking about him (and all of them).

Take your time and pamper the last pup. I have 3 now and my wife keeps angling for another but I just can't do it yet. I agree with your comment about the Shelter pups, I have had a few and they have been awesome, they just need a chance and some love. Again sorry for your loss and if you need anything even just to bs about them pm me.

I never knew how much you could get attached to dogs until we got our two. My condolences.
