Charlie (my avatar) was the love of my life. half border collie and half golden. he was so smart and a handsome guy. He died at 12 of pancreatic cancer this past January. That was so devastating on our family I'm not sure we have the strength to get another dog although I miss not having one. Been married for 40 years and have never been without a dog.
I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie. I know how you feel... when Yankee died last fall, I felt like a large part of me died with him & wasn't sure I'd ever want to go thru that again. But, then Leo came across my path & answered that question! In ways, I feel like Yankee sent Leo my way... y'know, still looking after me. "Mom is sad. She needs somebody to love & dote on". You'll know if & when the time is right. Until then, you have your memories of sweet Charlie. {{{ H U G S }} (from me & Leo)
