Please help me decide..

After the tragic loss of my baby girl 'Tia', I have decided to get another right away..I know for some this might sound strange but we all deal with things in our own ways..

Tia taught me things about myself and she filled a void that has been left empty for a long time..with my Army deployment I have experienced a lot of rubbish things but when I came home Saturday with 'Tia' my landlord said to me 'I see the old Carl come through that door'... That has told me everything and made me realize how much I want to bring a companion up in this world and give it all the love and affection it needs.

They say things happen for a reason, I'm not actually sure what that reason is yet and why she was taken away after only 4 days..

In the same town as where I first got Tia, there is another litter that I have been informed about with 4 Bitches to choose from, They have the same Sire as Tia so that would make them half sisters..I plan to look at them on Saturday...

Please tell me your thoughts on this as I really need help...I do not want to replace Tia, that's not fair..There is something very nice about having the same bloodline...Is it too much?

I want nothing more than to Honor Tia as I cant express what she meant to me even after only 4 days..

confused

It may sound like a good idea, do you have care for the puppy in place for when you are overseas or out of the country ? A young puppy as you know needs lots of TLC and someone there 24/7 to keep an eye on them.

I'm not in the military anymore...I would of never got a puppy if that was the case... In fact Im fortunate enough to be able to come home as often as and whenever I like as I am a taxi driver that only works day shifts

I think it all comes down to personal reasons you will never replace Tia as you have said. You just have to go with your heart and do what is right for you xx

Yeah everyone copes with these things differently, only you knows what feels right x

It brings a tear to the eye when i hear your story,i think you should go for it

Puppys need you to think for them because there so young so make sure nothing like that can happen again

I say go for it too if you feel ready, and I just want to say it's not a case of replacing Tia at all it's a case of adding another gorgeous baby to your wee family. Bless. x

Thankyou everyone...Means a lot

Im going to go and look, though I suspect the outcome...In saying that though Tia instantly pulled the right strings and she was on her own, grunt of the litter for reasons I cant work out and never will..

I want and need that again, my decision will not be based on a replacement puppy, id rather turn round and start the long drive home without one if that is the case...

I hope I can find that again, more importantly I hope Tia would understand my decision and see it as an honor as I do

Absolutely !! & I remember going to "look" at a litter 2 days after the decision to get a pup, paid in full then & there and 4 weeks later he was home
