Guys just do not process heart-ache same as ladies. It is just too soon for me.
------------------------------------------
I know that. My big, strong and tough late husband was a real
pillar of marshmallow where our kids and critters were concerned.
And when came time to have one of them (the critters) go to the Rainbow Bridge, he suddenly discovered he had to go somewhere or other right then. I had to do that last car ride with them.Then he greeted new ones with barely hidden joy, and was soon on the phone telling family about the new member!

Well, after a long evening of exploring her new house, yard, neighborhood, and new schnauzer friends two houses down the block she finally settled in for the night. Tired out little girl! Tried gating her in the water and food bowl area...unsuccessfully. She starting getting yippy...and my DH had gone to bed late anyway, visiting with her. He gets up at 4:30am so the gates got moved and she's in the office on her new bed by my feet. It is SO, SO good to have her here! We named her Yaffa, which is a hebrew word meaning beautiful/pretty. You know, the Jaffa Gate(?), but there is NO "j" in hebrew...really yaffa... As if anyone cares. Well, she IS pretty/beautiful...so it just kinda fit! ; - D

Not being a hunter myself I hadn't intended to get another Springer necessarily. Two hours after I sent the email to the breeder he responded that he had a favorite brood bitch who'd almost died of a virulent uterine infection and she had to be spayed. She'd almost died and he must have spent a fortune saving her. She is fully field trained which doesn't matter to me but she comes when called and never runs out of sight when off lead. She was a gift from the trainer because he said she'd earned a loving home. She is wonderful and I love her dearly. She also keeps me moving big time. I'm 73 and she is 3!
Cimarron Cowgirl, another furry friend is just the thing to ease the grief. I've grieved over a lot of dogs and still do but Kit has my love too and she brings joy to the former mausoleum.

I'm sorry to hear about Missy's passing. I feel your pain.
We lost our Dixie in April at 16, she was very ill. We still miss her so much.
We weren't planning on another dog either as we already have
3 others. In June a very sweet Golden Retriever found my DD and she asked if we could keep her. Someone dumped her and poor Miss Molly was so emaciated that we weren't sure if she'd survive. She has gained about 30# and is happy with us.
