re: New puppy and old dog

I think the hardest part about bringing in a puppy is when the older dog dies, and seeing the younger one mourn.

My 2 were close to the same age. They had been together their entire life. When the boxer died, my jack russell wasn't the same, and died weeks later all of a sudden, without ever being sick prior or having problems of any kind. I'm convinced his heart was just broken from missing his pal.
