We are talking about getting another one, but the pain of loss is still present.

I don't think our daughter is quite ready, maybe none of us are. When we ask her what kind of dog she might want, she always says that she wants her dog back.

I have never kept a pet, so I don’t know the grief involved in losing one that feels that a family member.

Would you keep a dog again? Or is the pain of losing it not worth it?

Off topic, but our dog looked a lot like a red panda.
