Oh Mary, please accept my most heart felt sympathies for your tragic loss. They were not just dogs. They were members of you family whom you loved so dearly and will miss always.

I do hope that no one helped your dogs escape. I would hate to think that anyone would do something like that, but unfortunately, it is not entirely impossible.

Only you can tell if adopting a new friend this soon is a good idea. Your other dog will help you. Find comfort in eachother. Best of luck to you.
