I agree with Kimmy, you wouldn't be replacing him, just getting an addition to your family, and a playmate for Callihan. It took us a while to comprehend this. But I'm so glad we got Roxey. We didn't go out looking for another dog, it just happened. We didn't even think we wanted another dog, getting attached again, just to go through the pain of losing them. But all the good times are worth it.

You'll know when it's right, and you'll fall in love all over again when you find the right one.

Last year when our chow Keisha died, we thought we were going to loose Angus too. He just moped around like he lost his best friend. And I guess he did. They grew up together from puppies.

And the sobbing....I don't think it really ever ends, you just have to learn to live with the loss. I still think of Keisha, almost every day & still cry for her.

I hope things get easier for the both of you.
