Sometimes getting a new pet soon focuses attention on the darling little thing and helps alleviate the pain of the loss of the other. There are many well mannered dogs in the pound who would be thrilled to have a home. I wanted to get a kitten after we lost our darling feral cat, Shemp, last February, but it looked like a possible move was in the works (which we are working on now) so I didn't want to get another kitten before we move. Just my view. Love, Sandi
