Losing him really tore me up, and for the past year, my daughter and fellow Packer fan has been lobbying for another dog, even giving me a Packer dog tag for Christmas, with "Jordy" engraved on the front - he's long been her favorite Packer. Unfortunately, the real Jordy left GB, but as of last week, I have another Jordy romping around the house. I'd forgotten how much work puppies are, but I am really happy that we have a dog in the family again.
Glad you decided to adopt another one. I've lost 4 dogs over the last 9 years, and I can't imagine life without one. I'm a Basset Hound guy myself, and I currently have 2: 1 is a Basset/English Pointer mix, and the other is a 3 year old special needs Basset that I adopted from Belly Rubs Basset Rescue in Tennessee.
One of my neighbors is out walking his Basset every day. His ears crack me up! Can't imagine losing four dogs in such a short span...just losing my last one almost made me never want a dog again for fear of going through that again. But the love and laughter they bring you makes it all worth it. Good luck with your pups.
