I have posted in the Death and Dying forum about the loss of my beloved Labrador, Donnie. His death has left me heartbroken. Well it has been nearly 5 months since my baby passed away, and during that time I did some dog sitting for a friend of mine. So I had 2 boxers living with me for about 6 weeks. The male dog was a total sweetheart, and reminded us (my husband and I) of Donnie very much. Having him and his sister here for that time helped me heal quite a bit I think. I still miss Donnie terribly, but i really enjoyed taking care of them, and playing with then, and giving and receiving affection. Since they have moved back home with their owner, I have been feeling very lonely, and my husband i have been discussing adopting a new furbaby. How do i know if the time is really right? I know i haven't moved on since losing Donnie, and I'm not sure if i ever will, honestly. I have adjusted to life without him but my heart still aches very much. I miss being a mom to a dog. I have my cat Damien, who i adore, but I am a bit more of a dog person, maybe because dogs seem to be more dependent on me than cats do, and i really enjoy taking care of dogs. I feel badly for saying that, i love my kitty very much but its just how i feel. Damien seemed to enjoy having the dogs here too. I know he misses Donnie, they were the best of friends. How do I know if I am ready to have another dog? I know I will never replace my baby but I feel like I should open my heart again.
