So sorry to hear about your loss - the only thing that ever heals is time - but our new puppy Molly sure is helping us do that as well. She is another Miniature Schnauzer (our fifth one in a row now so I guess we are hooked!) - but she is a joy. I know this may sound nuts but I had a long "talk" mentally with Daisy as we were making the two hour plus drive to look at Molly as to whether we were doing the right thing and asked her to help me know this was the right puppy. When we got there we looked into a child's playpen containing five puppies - all adorable and only 7 weeks old. Without hesitation I reached down and picked up Molly - and then the owners let them all out to run around and play - but Molly (she just turned 6 months old) kept coming back to me. I hope that you also find a new baby to share your love with. Once you have had a dog you love life seems so empty without one.
