I think I'm ready for another dog. I still miss the old ones & always will, & still grieving the one I lost this past January. But I don't feel like a new dog would be *replacing* him now, which says to me that I could get a new dog now & it'd be OK. I'd still miss the old one but I'd love the new one a ton.
@Impious_Jade Someone gave us one of those plaques with the little cutesy sayings.
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog that comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. Someday, all the components of my heart will be dog and I will be as forgiving and loving as they are."
@Impious_Jade Me too!
