No what you are going through Sniffer.Lost one of my dogs last Thursday in a freak accident,she was just over two year old.Lost a dog years ago and could not bring myself to have another one for a couple of years.regretted that decision ever since.Picked me a pup up yesterday.Looks like we are both going to have a few sleepless nights but for better reasons.
All the best with the new pup.
