When we lost our sweet girl Chloe we never ever thought we would get another dog. It was three years before we got another one. Our girl, Katie. Once we got Katie I think both of us knew that we would never be without a dog again. Now we have two I don't think I will ever be without the love of a dog again.

If I were to lose one of my girls I am almost certain that I would get another pup before long. Not only for me but also for my other pup. I'm pretty certain that one would be lost without the other.

As far as the same breed, Alden swears that we will always have a female akita. That suits me just fine We love the breed and are fascinated by akitas. About comparing.....for me it wouldn't matter if it was the same breed or not. To this day I still talk about Chloe and remark how she did this different or alike from our girls now and she wasn't either breed, she was a beautiful mutt. Sometimes Alden and I both slip and call Katie....Chloe(it happened alot when we first got Katie) I don't think it means anything bad or shows disrespect. It just means that Chloe is always with me. I love ALL of my girls. My two that are here with me now and my sweet girl that is waiting for me at the Bridge.

Gosh, I hope that made some sense.

Love and Hugs.....Robin
