When our shepherd died at age 6, that was the first dog since childhood that I had to say goodbye to, and I wondered if I wanted to go through that again. But my wife and son were adamant about moving on and we got two dogs to replace Keno; one just couldn't do it, and frankly they haven't "replaced" him. That being said, they have brought us a lot of joy the last two years.
It's a cliche, but the "better to have loved and lost..." line is correct, I think. Or as Bruce Springsteen says in Badlands: "Badlands you gotta live it every day, let the broken hearts stand, that's the price you gotta pay."
Again, good luck during this difficult period.
