Are you living with your Grandmother? If so it may be best to wait until you are own your own - you must always put your family first. If you are on your own I would highly recommend getting a replacement pet, life is much better when you have a dog at your side.

I think that, for some people, waiting is better, and for others, getting a new puppy is better. It really depends on what kind of person you are, but psychologically-speaking, 7 months is a pretty ample amount of grieving time, and I think that if you are ready and willing to get another pup, then you should, as there are plenty of pups in the world that could use a good home, especially with a mom that could care about them as much as you cared about Roxy.
Just because you get a new pup does not mean you are forgetting Roxy or replacing her. I got my pup, Halle, exactly 3 weeks before my old retriever died, and I am SOOOOOOOOO glad I had my new pup to cheer me up. I am the type of person who would have been even worse had I NOT had another dog. My new pup just gave me an outlet for all the love and emotion I felt for my old dog, and that helped the lonliness a lot.
Either way, I wish you good luck, and I am very sorry for what happened to Roxy.

Sorry about your puppy.
Yes, I think you should get another puppy. They are meant to get attached too. Go to the local animal shelter and rescue a cute little puppy. Getting another one will help you with your loss. You will never forget about Roxy, but another dog will help with the healing process.
Get a puppy in honor of Roxy. Look at that way. She would rather you get another one, especially a rescue that needs a loving home, rather than not having one at all.
Another puppy could make you very happy. Roxy made you happy while she was here, so now give another puppy a chance to do the same thing and vice versa.
Life must go on..................
Good luck

The best friend I ever had had to be put to sleep 3 years ago. No, I didn't want to do it, but yes it had to be done Do I miss him? Yes!! to this day I miss him. It has taken 3 years to be able to look at his picture and not get tears in my eyes. I am a 58 year old man and anyone that thinks us older guys are tough to the bone.. think again. Yes if you think you are ready then get another puppy. Just remember though, you will never find a puppy just like the one you had. None can replace him, but... you will grow to love the new puppy just as much and the two of you will become friends for life. Good luck!

I think you should go ahead and get another puppy. It will help ease your suffering over the loss of Roxy. This time, be sure to keep your puppy safe from other dogs whose owners obviously allow them to brutalize small dogs and puppies alike. You have my sympathy for your loss of your little angel Roxy.

I would get another one as soon as you'd like. The grief is from loving Roxy; it shows you loved her dearly. Find another dog that needs a good home and give your love to it. You'll never forget Roxy; you'll cherish her in your heart and memory forever. And the new dog may help heal the hurt.

If you are ready for a ew dog, go for it. Just remember, the new dog is not a replacement for the dog that died. It will be a completely different personality, type, ect.. Many people think the new dog will be like the old one, especially if the breed is the same. It's not. You need to be ready ro start fresh. Good Luck

I think you should get another dog, especially if it will make you happier. Take a liitle time to think about what you want. Recently my chinchilla and my bird died so I know how the death of Roxy must feel. You can get your dog at the pound or wherever.

consider wating a little while. do some reaserch . i could tell by your question that you live near a redzone arggrision place when it comes to dogs. try convining your grandma to get a mastiff or lab or boxer. and if large dogs are your style then get a small medium dog like me. i own a male puggle which is a pug / beagle mix. he is larger than a yorkie but smaller then a pinscher. hes the greatest dog to me. and he is no wimp. he trys to fight any dog. these dogs are great as lapdogs for girls and love to rough house with the boys. i think you should look up some info on my dog. renember he is a puggle a pug\beagle mix

If you think you want to get another dog, then go ahead! You will never forget Roxy, and another dog will be a new chapter in your life, and will not replace the memories of her.

You are the only one that really knows. If you're feeling guilty about getting another dog because you feel that it will dishonor Roxy, don't. So many homeless dogs need homes, and if you're willing to share yours, and provide this new dog with all it needs, then go for it.
