My Mercedes went to RB one year ago this month (halloween to be exact) and I said I would never get another..I had her for 16 years...
WELL, 9 months to the day.....I now have Gracie...my baby girl...a yorkie poo....so its been almost 3 months now...she is 4 months and 2 weeks and spoiled absolutely ROTTEN...lol

I do not feel Gracie is taking Mercedes place...not one bit...no different than losing a child and having another baby..they do not replace the one lost. I loved Mercedes to pieces, still think about her every day. This month has been hard...with the anniversary coming up. I never dreamed that I could love another one like I do Gracie. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bond with her like I did Mercedes....not a problem~

And it sounds like this is a great time for you to get one..you have time for the potty training...bonding, giving lotsa love...

I have a feeling you have already decided...lol..so post your pics when your new baby comes home!!


PS...We called Mercedes "Mercy" a lot....and now we have Gracie...so we have had "mercy and grace"...kinda cool....
