A year on

It was a 12 months yesterday that we lost Zac and I have updated that thread below.
Since I lost him I have always had a photo of him on my mobile phone and my laptop screen saver.
I have Rocky now who was recently 12 months old and I feel some guilt towards him for not replacing the photo of Zac with Rocky.
I almost feel that I am turning by back on Zac if I replace the photo's. What do you guys reckon?

Can understand how you feel but you shouldnt, Zac is gone but not forgotten hence the pic on your phone and screen saver. Remember Rocky is here and you see him everyday for cuddles and company. He understands I am sure   

I'm pretty sure you will have plenty pics of Rocky as well so I'm sure he will understand and like Inez said Rocky is getting his love as well.

When the time feels right you'll change the pics.

In no way would you be turning your back on Zac. He's in your heart and that's what matters.

I still have some pics of my first dog Judy, she left us about 20 years ago and I still think about her all the time. I have even called Rocky Judy on a couple of occasions. I will never forget her. Rocky is no way a replacement for her just a different dog.

i can understand how you must feel but you will never forget zac,always be in your heart,as said when the time is right you'll know x
