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 -------------------- In loving memory of Ruby Roberta Mercado. Born March 2005 - Passed Away December 24, 2005 - Sweet little chihuahua angel sent to us with love. You will forever be with us Ruby. You captured our hearts in just the short amount of time you were with us! We love you. You will never be forgotten.

Try petfinder.com
You can search for specific breeds and they list "sheltered" or "homeless" dogs too. As for when is the right time to get a new pet.... like others have said, only YOU and your family know when it is right. My two boys died in November. They were only a year old and were murdered. I cannot even imagine opening my heart yet. Even though I don't really know how to act without a dog. But when I got Casper and Kimba it had only been a couple months since my previous, elderly dog, Pete, had died of health problems. When I got Casper and Kimba I wondered if we had rushed things. It didn't take long to realize we did the RIGHT thing. The pups helped us heal. Right now, I am too depressed and exhauted with grief and anger to even think about starting over with new puppies. It wouldn't be fair to them. Pete, White German Sheperd
