[help] my dog passed away yesterday. A friend just offer me a puppy. Should I take it? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J My dog Pip passed away yesterday. I had a rough night. A friend heard that my dog passed away and she has 7 German Shepard/Blue Heeler mix puppies and she offered us one when they are old enough to be homed. They do sound like a nice mix. I feel torn however, I loved my dog as much as humanly possible, but I have a dog shaped hole in my life now. I don't want to be disrespectful to Pip and "replace" him, he could never be replaced, he was 1 in a million but my life isn't complete without him. What should I do? How long should I wait before I'm ready to get another dog? My kids want me to get the dog, they're hurting just as much as I am. Pip was my first dog and I so fell in love with him. Im 47 btw, Pip was only 8 when he passed away. I never realized the impact a dog could have on someone's life, and how empty your life feels without that dog. I don't want to make a rushed decision, but what else can fill a dog shaped hole in someone's life but another dog? What should i do? What would you do? dogs
