If you feel in your heart getting a new puppy would help your grieving process, by all means go with your feelings, I waited too long to replace my kitty, it may have seemed short to many people , but my heartache was so unbearable, I wished in hindsight I had gotten my new kitty sooner, as once I did, it sure helped me focus on my new arrival, and although not forget my Sooti, it helped ease the pain considerably, however I have to say if I had chosen my new kitty sooner, I would have missed out on the best kitty in the world, my sweet loving Lexie.

So I suggest just go with what you feel is the best for you, things have a funny way of working out.
