I'm so sorry to hear about your dog...they make life so much better, don't they?

I'm partial to the only breed I have ever owned, the wire fox terrier. They are 15-20 pounds full grown, always up for fun and games, don't shed and have real personalities. My dog's niece, Sky, won Best in Show at Westerminster two years ago. They do well in the country or in an apartment - they are very adaptable dogs.

Here's a picture of a young dog:

On the subject of considering adopting a rescue, I offer this poem:

This would make anyone cry! I can't wait to adopt my next baby from the shelter

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. As a goldendoodle mom, I certainly can identify with your pain of losing such a wonderful dog. I also can recommend a havanese. Someone in my family has one, and it is a fabulous dog. Personality plus and so loving. They do need grooming and maintenance. When I first met "our" havanese, he was just a puppy, but I was amazed at how calm he was. He is so adorable; he just loves to be around people. Good luck with your search and your heart will tell you when the time is right.

So very sorry for your loss. I know you pain - it's hard to lose a soulmate. But your baby is watching over you, and will make sure the right furbaby will come to you - the one who most needs to be rescued by a kind loving Mom, YOU!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take time to grieve for your sweet doodle. There will come a time that you'll be ready to open your heart to a new best friend.

I rescued my 9 year old Bichon last year. He's the sweetest dog. Bichons are a happy, happy breed, extremely loveable, and very obedient. Mine is comical too. They are a small breed and mine weighs 14 pounds. The only negative for some people (but not for me) is grooming. They don't shed, but their coat needs to be brushed at least a couple times a week to avoid matting. Regular haircuts are important too, but I do that myself now.

So very sorry for your loss.

Consider going to a shelter and giving another sweet dog a great home.
