My Ruby has been gone now for 6 days. My 4 year old daughter wants a new dog like now. She is an only child and our Ruby was her companion and "dog sister". We were thinking about adopting a dog from a shelter instead of buying another pure bred dog. What is everyone's thoughts on this?

Also, Thanks for the support. I did have another bad night last night but this board is truly helping me. -Nicolle

fwiw, i havent had my own pet since tribble died. going on 10 years this NYE. i have had other animals in the house (currently a nice doggie, my wife's), but i dont consider them mine. i dont know if i will ever be "ready" for another pet, tribble was that special to me.
