AMEN! Works for dogs also. I've heard some say they feel they're being disrespectful to the lost one by getting another one so soon, but it's really just the opposite. You're honoring the one who has gone by getting another one to share you heart and home especially when you can get a shelter one who may be losing it's own life soon. .
Yes, and for us, it’s the only way to remember the ones who have passed without crying...
Getting another allows us to think of those that went before, and smile at the memories of the time we had with them, no matter how brief.
Little Bill, may God bless you and your daughter, with a new purring heart to love.

Indeed. We are considering getting another dog partly because the one we have is getting older and we couldn’t bear losing her then not having ANY dog in the house which would just cause me to lament the loss of her and feel the void even more.. Dogs and cats enrich our lives immeasurably, and they fill the void when our children no longer live at home too..
