I am really sorry for your loss. Some needy poodle is about to become the luckiest dog alive.
When we lost our golden, Bear, who was the first dog we raised from a puppy (the first two were rescues), I thought the sky was falling. I threw everything of his out (stupid--as if that could ease the pain), and then the vet delivered his ashes, collar, and a cement paw print with a ribbon, that you could use as a tree ornament. This was Thanksgiving, and every Christmas the vet put up a tree with angel ornaments with the names of pets who had passed away. There he was, right in the front.
This was all to, too much. We were of two opinions about getting another puppy so soon. But the angel tree put me over the top. Our "puppy" turned 5 last Thanksgiving. He didn't replace Bear, but he sure made the grief easier to work through.
I wish you luck in finding another dog. I know she or he will be a help to you in your grief.
