How long do you wait before, if ever, getting another pet after one dies?

When my dog died, we got another puppy 2 weeks later, but tht was because my grandma's friend's daughter's dog had puppies, 9, that needed a home, so we took one.

My cat, Cole, just died last Thursday. The house seems so emptey with only Gypsy, Lexi, and Sadie. But everytime I think about maybe getting another pet, its too hard. I know its too soon. But maybe, in a few months or so...

Just wondering what your view on this was..
