hello Tim .. i am Miranda from Belgium and i am owned by a adopted small spanish guy called Timmie (since a month)and three cats.I think when your dog is passed away you decide for yerself when its time to get another dog and its not because you have the day after he died another one you will forget him...
I had a first sheltie for 9 years and when he passed away i bought another sheltie three days later on... when i knew he was ill (the second one) me and the vet decided to sleep him in on theusday one month ago i was the weekend before looking if i should take another dog or not... he had to be small because i cant' lift when its needed heavy dogs i had a recently heartattack and i saw a picture of my little guy and i fell in love with him... so i was already buzy to get the adoption around when i still had my sick dog. it helped me pretty much through my pain of losing my dog.

Timmie is a small shorkie of 1,5 year old and he is founded on a beach of gibraltar (spain) after he was catched they brought him to a deadshelter in algeciras.. and there he was rescued by the organisation (Animal Care Espana)ACE charity .. he was adopted before by people of the netherlands but they dumped him after two weeks.. so he is safe and well here in out small Belgium now
