So sorry for your loss. I’ve been there quite a few times in my 68 years and it never gets easier. I deliberately waited a year to get another dog after we lost our cattle dog Hoshi to cancer of the liver in 2013. I just wanted to honor her memory by not rushing out to get a replacement dog. Plus I wanted to finish mourning her death because she was a tough act to follow. You’ll know when it’s time.

Thank you. You are right about knowing when the right time is.

I waited 45 years after we lost our cairn terrier to old age.

I'd still be waiting if this little knucklehead hadn't showed up in our "pond" skin and bones, desperately thirsty last July when it was 103°.

Furry-Dipper-3

It took five months to earn his trust.

We're only guessing at his age and breed, we figure he's got about another ten years or so. We're going to make them very good years.

I'm already dreading that good bye, but take comfort in looking forward the joyful reunion when my time comes.

I waited 20years for another dog.

Problem is that there are plenty that need a loving touch. God spelled backwards
