Alan, I'm surprised that you haven't found another companion for your own dear dog -- single pets are much like single children, or what we used to call putting all our eggs in one basket.... My own daughter had to give up her beloved dog this past weekend, and she is inconsolable. We couldn't convince her to get another wonderful puppy last year . .
