For you guys who have lost a family pooch, how long did you wait before going out and getting another one, if you did? I know you can't replace them, but I'm so used to having a dog around it's hard to imagine going very long without one in the house...

Been there done that.....just plain ol sucks. My wife usually goes about 2 months or so after we've lost one before she's cruisin the animal rescue websites. In our hey day (before kids) we had 3 big ol pooches....Have lost all three of them in the last 3 or 4 years and only replaced them with one dog and 2 kids so far. ( i kind of hope it stays that way to be honest)

Give it a couple of weeks out of respect to the old guy and then go out and get you a new dog and make some new memories.
