Everyone heals a different way. When my RB Cindy died, we waited almost two months before we found Nicki... it was driving me CRAZY because I lived with my parents and they wouldn't let me get a new dog so soon.

My grandmom has the same concept I do... every time she's lost a pet, she had another pet within a week. To me, it helps the healing. I can love the new pet with all my heart while letting go of the pain associated with losing the other beloved pet.

Follow your heart and do what it says is right for you.
