Our lab crossed the Rainbow Bridge in Sept., and now our house feels so empty (even with our beagle and cat). Over the holiday, my parents brought their elderly lab and mini Aussie with them to stay a few days. Having the house full of animals was so nice, and I especially loved giving attention to the lab. Now my husband wants to bring a puppy into our family. I have always loved animals, especially dogs, but for the first time in my life my heart just isn’t into it. We have the space, a great fenced yard, and resources to care for a new fur baby, but I’m not excited about it like I was when we got our beagle and our lab. Is this just part of the grief process? Am I selfish for shutting it down for awhile longer? I know my husband wants one, and having a companion may help with my beagles anxiety (it got worse after our lab passed), I’m just not 100% sure...
