Life without your dog after he has died can be hard. It is just over two weeks since Kev died and we have said we will wait for a few months before deciding whether to get another rescue dog. If we get a younger dog, we know the commitment could be more than ten years so we intend to take at least one holiday abroad before adopting our next pet. There could also be the need for some extra safety equipment to stop the dog falling on the stairs. In the meantime we can continue with our sponsorship of a dog in the care of Dogs Trust. This is the next best thing to having a dog of your own, but it is still hard when they show all the appealing faces of the dogs in their TV ads!
