Very sorry for your loss. I know how helpless you felt. They are more than just a pet, they are part of your family, and it is a heartbreaking loss. My family and I wish you and your family the best in these difficult days.

Thanks for the kind words guys. We are doing much better today. One funny thing happened, I must have mentioned to the wife and son I need some new socks. I don't think they di a good job of coordinated their purchases because I now have 18 new pairs of socks.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

I few months ago I asked the wife about getting a new puppy, her answer was NO! You woulda thought I asked her for another truck.
I asked her again today and she said maybe.
Thanks for the kind words guys!
Merry Christmas!

Gavin, we are wanting a new puppy for me as well. I have considered both German Shepherds and Boxers. I've never had my very own dog before. What variety of puppy are you looking for?

If we do get some pups they will be labs. I love the breed because they are fairly easy to train. They're great with kids and they generally want to stay close to you. They do shed hair.

My dad had a lab mix many years ago. He was a good dog. Pure bred Black Labs are among my favorite of all breeds.

So sorry to hear of your Loss. Years ago I too had to put my Black Lab mix down because of a tumor. I was there in the room and we were looking eye to eye "as the lights went out". I wanted me to be the last thing he saw. Hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Early spring when they both started to blow coat, you can sweep up enough hair in one day to cover a small dog.

My vote would be for labs.
