@saintscrpn I am terribly sorry for your loss. I had two rescue dogs my mom and I saved from the pound after I graduated high school. One boy and one girl. The male was a Beagle the other was a mutt. When we lost them, I look back on the long, wonderful life we gave them. They always made us smile and laughed at their behaviors. I know it will be hard in the beginning...but let those wonderful memories to help you when you need it most. It's been three for the male and our second year with the female. And now, we have two new dogs. We waited until we were ready to have them. One is a gentle Pitbull mix Male. The other, female, an Austrian Shepard. ~ And they show the same odd quirky behaviors as the last two we have. We sometimes mix up their names with the new ones. My mom even said she sees them both in her dreams as a way to let her know their okay and happy.
