I'm so sorry you lost your best friend so young. I lost my Lucy on May 18 this year just before her 9th birthday and got Vinnie on May 25. My husband and I can't function without a dog to love and be loved by. Vinnie will never replace Lucy but I love him just as much. If you and your dear Lab need a new friend to help the healing, by all means do it and don't feel guilty. Red has new friends at the bridge (including Lucy) and would want the same for you.

Sending hugs your way.

I too am sorry for your loss. Red was gorgeous! After I lost Goldie to hemangio, I only lasted 2 weeks before I got another. I couldn't stand the sadness and depression my other girl Molly was going through. When the time is right for you... the time is right. There is no right or wrong here. We do what we need to do in order to stay sane. Get another dog when you feel the time is right and all that excess love you have will make another dog's life wonderful.

we just lost our sweet girl due to the same type of cancer and she had the same symptoms. we were also like you and were watching her but didn't really know what to look for. we spent her last two weeks enjoying all our time together and she also was fine up to two days before. her breathing started getting labored and then her stomach started to spasm. we knew something was wrong so we took her in and they told us she was bleeding internally. "can we take her home for one more night?" I asked. "you can" she said "but she won't make it through the night" she told me. that was how we found out and after a few minutes of saying goodbye and I love you, she was gone. Now I am with you on the total loss of everything you thought was normal and even my other golden is walking around the house looking for her. God bless us all as we navigate through these unchartered waters that we knew were coming but we prayed we would never have to face them.
