To be honest, she was the most obedient, loving, affectionate dog but being NOT NOT NOT the yellow crayon in the box made for some really fum]n times. I miss her more than I could ever say.
Replacing my golden felt impossible, because it was. My new pup will never be the one we lost. But I feel like she would want us to be happy and have another, if she were capable of such cognition. Just do it.
