I like the concept of fostering, but it didn’t work for us. Bubba was a sweetheart with humans and other dogs, but unfortunately, the agency didn’t know how much he hated cats. For the entire time he was at our house, he was trying to get to our cat. The cat was already dying at that point, but we figured that having his head ripped off was not a humane way with dealing with his cancer. The agency found Bubba a more appropriate foster home.
My daughter brought home an older Chihuahua from Muttville in SF. He was a real sweetheart. Part of the arrangement is that the fosterers take the dog to some events. He got adopted at the second one. Seems like a great organization. (your mileage may vary, every dog is different. Etc). Just find one you love.
So tempting but I think I should wait a little longer. The wife sometimes still weeps at night and it’s been 3 months already since we lost our little guy.
3 months is still too soon that you will need more time to adjust.
It took me 6 months to get another cat after 1 of 2 cats died after only 10 years,.My other cat and myself needed to adjust to the loss,bond as often as possible,then we finally got her a new playmate.Now after 2 years, the remaining cat from the original 2 has died.Its been 13 months and I keep saying Im going to get another cat.I know If I go to the pound I’m going to want every cat I see.I think it’s respect for the pet that has passed away by not replacing them immediately,but rather, spending time reveling in the great memories of a special friend.When you start feeling better, then move forward to help and love a new special friend.I cry over my loss of these wonderful friends,but then I realize I don’t want these memories making me sad,only happy,again,out of respect,as that is how your animal would have wanted it.I know my pets are looking down from heaven,and I don’t want them to ever think they caused me sadness,only joy,although I cried while typing this.Never let years of joy turn into years of sadness.Remember the joy and let it make you smile.Let the joy of this pets life overcome the loss of him.
Sorry.
Thank you jon…I will cut and paste your post to my lovely wife.
