My husband's cousin breeds Golden Retrievers, and we'll be getting a puppy around Christmas time to fill the void.. Hopefully that will be enough time to grieve...
Music to this Golden Lover's ears!!! What a wonderful dog you will be getting!!!

It will get better, I promise. The sadness never totally goes away, but it softens after a while.
