When i lost Bandit who had been my soul mate for 13 years i felt so unhappy to say the very least and the house was empty and so so not a home but i couldn't as i thought replace him then 5 months later i saw Murphy who needed a home on dog pages that was it i was in love again and new i had to have him in my life not to replace Bandit but to share my love and he came to us and turned the house back into a home again it took me 5 months to know that the time was right but friends of ours whos oldie went not long before Bandit were ready after a couple of weeks ,everyone is diferant and the time it takes them but you can love more than one dog and it takes nothing away from the one you have lost The pain is no less because you have another dog it shows that your heart is big enough to hold more than one
I still miss Bandit after 3 years and think of him lots but Murph has made me happy again i like to think i have made Murph happy too
