BP once again, sorry for your loss. Like the others said, he will always be with you but never replaced. Someday we will all be with our loved ones again in a better place. It might be hard to think about but you need to get another pup. Dogs need good homes and you can provide one for them. He will grow up around you and before you know it you will have another buddy and companion. Prayers are answered in many ways and a new friend might be just the ticket. When I was a young boy, I lost a dog by it getting hit by a car. He was my friend and followed me everywhere on the farm. A few days later when I came out of the house to go to school, there was a puppy laying on the outside door step. Nobody claimed to know where he came from (although I had my suspicions) he became a new friend for many years. BP take time, heal and know that there are people out here that you have never met that care. Be well.
