89. Please consider another rescue dog.

As soon as you could possibly consider it.
The world of lost dog souls in shelters need owners exactly like you, as much as you need them.

My neighbor did so after losing her beloved Murphy last year, waited only three days. For some it takes longer but she is in a wonderful new relationship now with a beautiful mixed breed and her new dog has helped her -as much as it can -recover from the loss of Murphy.

Sorry for your loss, but its obvious you and Little-Dog shared a wonderful life and for that I'm happy for you both.
