So cute PS. Did something similar but cat related. Old moggy passed away. New kitten playing now.

I sort of think of our puppy as the psychological incarnation of our previous family member. Both much loved. We have to let go and absorb new life. 

I’ve only had one dog. Not sure how I will cope when he goes over the rainbow bridge. It would somehow feel disloyal to get another, though the house will feel horrible empty without him.

Nah it is honouring their memory and as PS says very healing.

I remember a month in my adolescence where the first half was all about our old dog who we'd had since I was 6 dying and the second was all about the wonderful new dog (who in retrospect we got far too soon. She ended up spoiled...) 

Overall it ended up as a close to average month 

Now I'm older I appreciate more just how short a dog's life really is... Seemed like forever then 

Dogs are the bestest. 

You moved on pretty quickly. Shame on you. 

So glad you and Mrs P have someone new to focus your love on. Will be interested to see if your new pup takes to agility challenges or is as distracted by Dad as Willow was.

"when he goes over the rainbow bridge"

!

he looks like the dog that got the cream

Heh for Guy. 

Can’t start agility until she’s about 18 months old Jim. You can be reasonably sure that any problems when the time comes will be my fault.

Audere eat facere.

fantastic name for a dog

Audi for short

Beautiful.  remember your post. Was so sad so glad to hear the new pup is taking over 

@clivewarren WHERE IS PHOTO?

Another dog hit the jackpot! 

"when he goes over the rainbow bridge"

somebody is confusing a pets death with Mariokart...

The rainbow bridge is a well known term for pet owners I thought. They go over the rainbow bridge to wait for you.

And that enough of that talk. Im not crying, you’re crying.
