| First, you have to decide on the type of dog you want..age, etc. and then go meet the dogs and take the pup with you.

| Animals go through mourning same as people do. He misses his buddy and knows that you are feeling pretty low as well. Like Cat said, do your research for a little while. This gives you time to heal and also allows you to prep yourself for getting another dog. In the mean time, what about taking the puppy to the dog park, doggie daycare, or something else that he enjoys? It won't replace having a live in buddy but it reminds him that he is not the only dog left in the world. |

| bruno went through the same issues when my mom and stepdad went on a 3 week trip. Bruno wouldn't eat for 3 days so I went and bought her wetfood and finally got her back to eating. She also wouldn't want to play or any of that she just wanted to stay inside and sleep all day long. Today she will be hopefully be happy when she sees my stepfather walk back in the door downstairs and go running right to him for attention but who knows she could be mad at him for leaving her for 3 weeks too. |
