Well: Little Missy went to doggie-heaven last Monday. It hurts and I miss her something fierce...but no point in trying to keep DH from bringing home a new little dog-friend

My DH is out to bring home our newest member of the family, an she is a cute little thing. Mini Schnauzer...you know the big brown eyes, bushy eyebrows, and long beards which look all wild and crazy when they first wake up? DH and Schnauzer look-alike contest!
Just had to tell ya all! :-D

Thanks Midge. He is there now...just called. He'll be home shortly. He had just been missing Missy so much. Guys just do not process heart-ache same as ladies. It is just too soon for me. But, this is one battle I knew I would have lost, definitely. :wink:

Condolences on losing the dog that couldn't stay any longer. They sure leave a hole in one's heart.

Congratulations on the new addition.

When my dear Shadow went on to her reward I didn't plan to get another dog for a while. The while lasted about two weeks. I couldn't stand to come home to this empty house. It was like living in a mausoleum. I planned to look for a rescue that didn't need housebreaking etc. When I notified my late DH's hunting pals all of whom knew Shadow well from many a pheasant hunt, and the breeder from whom we got her. 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.

Dogs love us for who we are, they don't care what our name is for how we look. We onlyneed to return the love.
Glad you got a new friend.

That is usually what I do, when the last one dies, I immediately get another. Training a puppy and watching them play sure helps to relieve the pain of loss.
When any of mine go I will have plenty left, not going to replace.
I'm so sorry you lost your friend.

That's wonderful to have another happy dog in your life!
