They are babies and everyone loves babies. And shih tzu babies are the cutest. It was hard taking that first step and bringing home another dog. I somehow felt disloyal to my boy. But I love dogs and I missed the company and I would be giving another dog a loving forever home. In fact, after I got Toby, I brought Maggie, another Shih tzu puppy , home a year later. I now have two shih tzu kids! So my advice is to take that big step and bring another fur baby into your home. You won't regret it, I promise. I so promise!

I can second that. We did the same thing after our first golden died. I think we lasted about two months. It was not a disrespect to Bear, but a nod to him. We'll never ever forget him, but Crosby has filled a big hole. The only thing to remember is that no two dogs are alike, even if the same breed.They all have their distinctive personalities, and the next one will never be the same as the last one.
