Our dog passed away on Thanksgiving morning. Everything around the house reminds us of her as well. We swore we would not get another pet as the loss was just too great for us.
However, we just saw an 8-week old German Shepherd which looks and acts just like our Simba, so we adopted her. We wrestled with the "replacing" her issue, but the fact that we'd be giving a dog a good, loving home overcame that feeling.
While we miss our Simba, our new puppy does help the soften the pain of losing Simba.
