I am so glad for you. After my previous Saint passed I thought I could never go through another heart as broken as mine was... But as the weeks went on the house was just way too silent. I guess I never realized how much I even talked to my dog till he was gone.
I found a rescue and so glad I did we are both sooo happy together.... I am sure there is much happiness coming your way with your new buddy.

I am going to meet two girls tomorrow. I am going with a smaller dog this time. Always had big dogs in the past but due to getting older I thought that smaller might be better for me. This dog is a ruscue dog. There are so many of them that need love. I also have two cats.

Wonderful animal stories. Marilyn, I wish you and Merlyn many happy, healthy years together. The dog in my avatar is my dog, Stitches. I had just lost my Olde English Sheepdog Maggie, when the vet's wife asked if I'd be interested in Stitches who was 1 1/2 at the time. Long story short, we were made for each other. He came fully vaccinated, neutered, housebroken and with impeccable manners. Even his name was perfect because of my quilting and that fact that he mended my very broken heart. I have been so rewarded and blessed. Stitches is 17 1/2 and still doing well with a lot of assistance from my husband and I. There is nothing on earth like the unconditional love from a pet.

I'm sooo happy you will have another companion!! I can't stand to be without a canine companion either!! My neighbors still remember me 9 mos. preg.-big as a house- running after my wee cocker pup after we lost our first beloved cocker. Hubby wanted to wait till after the baby. I said 'no way' and so I raised the 2 babies together ) Wouldn't have had it any other way!!

When I lost my doxie, Heidi, last year (she was almost 15), I promised my husband I wouldn't get another dog. It hurt so bad and I was in major depression for months. Finally, DH said to get another dog because he was missing having a pet in the house too. He didn't know I had doxie rescues all waiting to hear from me when I was ready. The group I worked with found the perfect little guy, Chip. He's 3 years old, as housebroken as a doxie can be (doxie owners know what I mean LOL), but DH and my friends couldn't believe the difference in me once he came into our lives. So, I'm with you -- I can't be dogless either. Enjoy your new buddy!!!
