If your grieving for the loss of a four legged family member, honor that pet by jumping in again. I know already, we will not regret doing so.

I always admired the love and caring you showed Mr. Buster. When he was old and losing his facilities, your love never faltered.
I now have a 15 year old dog who is deaf and he has very bad cataracts. I love and treasure him even more than I did when he was a puppy. I know the sad day will come when he'll pass over the Rainbow Bridge. I will miss him dreadfully. From a lifetime of having dogs. I know that the best way to lessen the pain is to get another dog. Not as a replacement, never that. Every dog is unique and holds a special place in your heart. We've found that it's especially rewarding to adopt a rescue.
Best of luck to you and Lucy. I know you will give her the best of homes. And I bet Mr. Buster is smiling.
