Hmm this is hard....I had a really great German Shepard/Husky mix, Sampson, when from when I was born up until I was 11. When he got cancer, we had to put him down. It was worse than losing a best friend. Then, 5 months later, my dad took my up to a place in Cape Cod to go see a German Shepard breeder. We got to get a new dog, Mojo. He was so loving and cute, it really took my mind off Sampson. I still miss him, but I loved my other dog, too.
Moral of The Story: If you're ready, get a new dog. Not only will it help you move on, but you'll have a new companion in your life. Good Luck!

there is no set time limit for moarning the loss of a loved one be it human or k9. I am truely sorry that you're having a very difficult time getting over your beloved pet's passing. I do think that maybe you can look into getting another pet at this time; even though a new dog will not replace your other dog and you will not feel the same way about him or her you will have another dog to love and that will love you. Go to your local humane society, SPCA, or animal shelter and give another dog a second lease on live and a very loving home.

It is definatly not stupid to miss your dog. I think every dog owner goes through the same thing you are right now. If you are ready to get a new dog, then go for it. Also, there are many websites that help people overcome the grief of a lost dog.

It sounds easy to; say get another dog but its one of those things that you can only answer. I also lost a friend and the timing is important. When its right you will be ready to do it. But the important thing is to keep busy with animals. Like visit the shelters or pets stores to keeps in touch. Even a friend who has a dog , it helps. Your memories will be happier of your lost friend as time goes on. Every ones time frame is different and their is no rush.............good luck

It's not stupid. This little guy gave you so much love and fun and friendship. Of course you're still missing him. I think you're normal to still grieve for him; he left a big hole in your heart. Perhaps you could find a new best friend. The next dog won't be Monkey, but it will bring it's own little personality into your life and make a new place in your heart, right next to Monkey's place.

Get a new dog, you will learn to love this one as well. I lost my dog in 1994 and couldn't get another one until I bought my own house in 2004. She's the best. I love her. I think fondly of my childhood dog and even have pics of him in the house.
Perhaps, you could volunteer at your local animal shelter. Then, you can play with the dogs and take them out for exercise. It's very therapeutic.
Good luck.

no one can help you get over the loss of your beloved dog but rather than dwelling on the loss why don't you just enjoy the many wonderful memories you have of him. I lost my furry boy in 2000 and have not replaced him with another. I have been volunteering at the local shelter to walk and love on the dogs there so that i get my dog fix.
