My son and eldest granddaughter understand but my youngest granddaughter, the one I've been closest to, doesn't, which is somewhat upsetting and a little puzzling. For even though she grew up with Bob around and spent more time in his company then the other members of my family, she was never close to him, she never bothered with him at all, so it is not sentiment. But high-ho, maybe one day..

No dog could ever take the place of my Bobs, there was none like him, nor could there ever be. The one who may become my companion is radically different to Bob, deliberately so. If I pass the home check and then can go bring home I will then introduce him to you all in his own thread.

The youngest granddaughter probably doesn't maybe understand death? We had a kitten die this fall that was our grandsons. He kept talking about the kitten & I said it had gone over the rainbow bridge to heaven where all animals go & won't be coming back. He said to me can't we at least talk about Little Bear even though he is gone. So he still brings up Little Bear & we talk about him. So deep down inside maybe she is hurting & doesn't know how to deal with it?

I hope you find another dog or another dog finds you.
