I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking about getting another dog is good. I lost my little Georgia last May. I was devastated. Gil came into my life in June. He didn't replace Georgia, but he does fill the hole she left in my soul. All of my dogs have had their own, unique, lovable, personalities. Even though there will never be another dog just like Moose, there will be another dog with his or her own special talents.

I cried so much when Georgia died that I had blurry vision for a week or two after the crying stopped. The only thing that helped was a cool, wet washcloth.

Could you maybe volunteer at a shelter or foster a dog until your husband is ready for a new dog? Getting another dog isn't a betrayal of Moose's memory. It's an affirmation of his awesomeness.
