We had to do the same when Retread died. Buttons knew he was gone but he was so depressed we were worried he would grieve himself to death. We got Mandy only two weeks after Retread died, alittle soon for us but just in time for Buttons. You do what you think is best for your family.

You truly have my condolences for Samantha. I thought about her all day when I heard she passed. It's so hard loosing any dog but a puppy must be very tough.
