We lost our gorgeous girl (border collie cross) at the beginning of the year, she was 15.
DP said he never wanted to go through losing a dog again, so he didn't want another dog. Then he said we'd have one in a year's time. Now he's saying let's get one now (we had a bereavement over the weekend and we've realised life's too short to put things off).
I'm totally torn.
I miss our girl so much, but a new dog won't be the same. It won't be her.
At the same time I've been really excited about looking at dogs on rescue centre websites and I'm going to see two gorgeous pups tomorrow.
I suppose I just want to hear other people's experiences of getting a dog after losing one. I'm worried it's just not going to be the same
