We got another boxer February 25,2011 and named her Molly. She's sweet, but very high energy!! lol
Dogs are precious.
I, too, know what you mean about being ready. In fact, I was just thinking about this earlier tonight. We had to have Yankee put down right around Halloween last year (we could no longer even begin to control his seizures & the meds had started to break his organs down). I thought I would die myself. But I knew I'd want another dog because I've always had a dog. We agreed that we would get an older dog this spring. Then, fate happened & we were blessed with Leo the 1st of December... Leo the 10 month old puppy. So, not only did we not wait till spring, we ended up with a RAMBUNCTIOUS puppy. But he has filled our house with laughter again & I think we were just destined to get him. I think Yankee said "Mom's sad & lonely. I'm gonna send her a new son to love"... LOL!
I know your new baby is going to bring much joy to your life!
