Lost ours 7 years ago when he was almost 18 years old. Though the pain of losing him actually got worse over the following months, and we waited 4 years before finding another dog we hoped would be even half as perfect for us, I hope you'll believe me that we struck gold again!
Our current little girl is just a doll. She is loving, gentle, playful, and smart. Amazingly, she looks and acts so similar to our prior pet, I sometimes forgetfully call her by that name. We found her at a shelter and have had her almost 3 years. We love her just as much. So please don't think you're doomed to a life without that special friendship. Give it some time. There are so many wonderful deserving pets out there. My heart goes out to you.
