You have the capacity to love a dog and that love should be lavished on another and that is exactly how Rask would want it. They're so unselfish, dogs, they ask so little and you gave your boy so much. It would be wrong to let that love die with him. *hugs very tight* You can't replace him, of course, but each dog finds their own niche in your life.

Bert has been a bit poorly but he's so bouncy now that he would sit on your feet and look up at you expecting lots of fussing and telling him what a sweetheart he is.

In the meantime, you'll know when it's right. I know what you mean about that void though. It's so hard, my poor darling girl. *hugs some more*
