FWIW, Frank.....get another dog. You can never replace a beloved pet and family member, but you can sure get another. Sometimes, what fills the void better than anything is a new pup, full of life and love for you and the family. God knows there are a lot of dogs in the shelter that would love to be a family member.Ya know, i kinda discounted the other threads about others losing pets because i haven't lost a close pet in 20 yrs, but now i understand better. By far, the worst is seeing my kids shredded about the loss of Boo...
