It is heart breaking but somehow wonderful that the hole can be filled a bit. Buster is a lucky dog.

Very touching post. The animal world is a better place because of you and your husband and what you do for them

I lost my very beloved golden retriever last fall. I was devastated but my service dog was inconsolable. The vet said she needed another dog or she might not make it. Three weeks after Fergus’ death we brought home a puppy and I cried the entire 3 hour drive home. I had my caretaker name him because I couldn’t. I was distraught because I knew Ebony needed him (she perked up in hours and completely adopted him by the next morning)but I was worried I would never be able to give him the love he deserved. 15 months later, he is snuggled on my feet at the end of the couch. He was patient with me and waited while he wore me down with his BIG heart and puppy smile.
We still miss Fergus. Ebony will start whining in the living room until I get her Fergus’ favorite toy. She won’t stop whining until she can lie on her bed with his toy for a bit. The toy is so old and beloved we can’t leave it out for safety reasons but every now and again she remembers and wants his smell and toy with her.
I still keep his collar and leash in the car.
They are such gifts!

Deb,

I certainly understand your pain. I have a number of dogs and cats waiting on that bridge for me. I miss each one of them. ~Kc
