I'm sorry to hear that you lost her. It's just heartbreaken when you a beloved pet dies! Of course, getting a new pet isn't about replacing. It's just about sharing your love with another wonderful soul:-)
awww...your big baby! He or she must think they're a lap dog! I had a black lab who was the same way. She'd climb into my lap when she was scared - she just didn't understand she was too big to be doing that!
