Oh too sad. I had to have one of my bunnies put down last month because of a fast growning tumor. It hurts sooooo bad to loose our furry friends. I'm glad you feel your feelings.

Try talking to your Dad when he's sober. Talking when he's drinking won't do either of you much good. Do you have AA groups nearby? I found the Adult Children of Alcoholics group in my town to be VERY helpful in figuring things out as regarded my father's behaviors..... make some sense out of a senseless situation.

How's about a new puppy for Pop. Nothing cuter than a brand new puppy face licking your face........ maybe it could help fill in his painful blank.....

I think hillbunny gives some great advice.

The only thing I would say is hold off on the puppy til had time to grieve. Then maybe in a wee while scope out the SPCA (not sure what you call it, but the animal shelter) and if there is a cute puppy casually take Dad past and see how he reacts?

i am sorry for your loss - it is so hard to lose doggies.
