It's really a hard subject for me to post on, because my biggest fear more than anything is loosing one of my babies. But, I know that it will happen eventually. God forbid, it won't be for many, many years to come.
I'm not sure if I would get another dog right away. Molly and Daisy are both very, very bonded to each other, and when one of them goes, I know it'll be heartbreak for the other. That's probably the reason I would consider bringing in another dog that soon. My very first dog, Todo, a Dachshund, passed away when he was 8 years old from a "slipped disk". It was a few years after that happened that we decided to look around for another dog, and that's when Molly came into the picture.
I don't think I could change breeds. I'll always love Goldens and Collies.. and I know I'll always have at least one of them in my life. I could never compare my future dogs with either Molly or Daisy; they're both one of a kind, and I'll always love them more than anything.
I guess I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
