We love our furbabies just like our children. I know that our 14 yr old parrot is very attached to my hubby and when the time comes that the parrot dies, hubby and I will be bawling too.

Well see,you already have a pup (or more) to bring new doggie life! Something to look forward to.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss, Junie...and your husband's. I'm glad that Blue had the comfort of being with your husband and they could say goodbye. I know Blue will never be forgotten & you'll always love him...but the new puppy soon to be born will bring you love & joy and in time your husband's grief will ease as he comes to love your new fur kid.
My heart goes out to you both...I hope you will find healing peace.

I def understand because my fur kids are my children. I have lost beloved fur kids and nursed them and would do anything for them....I had thought after my last devastating loss, in which I nursed him for over a year, (he died from liver cancer) that I would never have another, I thought I couldn't bear the agony again, of losing them.
Then the empty house, echoing with the murmers & shadows of my beloved made me realize that I will never run out of love...and I was so lonely and miserable so I adopted a shelter boy...about a year later, I adopted another boy, both American Shorthairs, now 5 and 6 years old and I adore them.
The second boy, I adopted only after seeing him on the shelter's website! I called them & they claimed he was too skittish & freaked out to be adopted & that 3 prospective families had returned him...and they said if I took him, they'd leave his bio up on their website since I'd most likely take him back. I said NO WAY! I love for LIFE and it will work out! So I brought him home and he was terrified and insecure, hid himself for a week beneath my bed, where I provided food & water and patiently waited for him to decide when to emerge. One day as we were watching a movie, suddenly he peeked out and slowly, hesitantly worked his way toward the living room archway and watched us. We made no sudden moves but talked to him & coaxed him. A few nights later I awakened to him snuggled up to me in bed and he's been a total Momma's boy ever since and my constant companion. That was over 4 years ago!
We never run outta love to give and once we've been owned by fur kids, there's no turning back!

May God bring you & your husband inner peace, comfort & healing.

Luv
Critter

Thank you so much and I was right, she is in labor now so I got a crate and fixed her up a nest and the only problem is I may not be able to let go of any of them if its more then a couple. Hubby will accept a pup from her because he already loves her (and my sis Is owner of the daddy) wants a little girl.
I hope people don't think bad of me but I want to let both my baby girls (both 3) be a momma and then have them fixed. I want their blood line to continue, not for profit but for me. So its looks like one down and one to go. I will not sell any, and the only people that will get a baby of mine is going to have to prove to me they don't believe in throwaway pets. I plan to breed my salt and pepper with sis's black mini schnauzer then get her fixed too. They both have qualities you rarely find in dogs that I want to keep and I am sure sis will want one of them too if there is more then one. I read the first litter of the mini's are usually just one, time will tell. Looks like our home will be crawling with new life soon

Looks like Blackie will be getting married to both my babies, Bella and Sassy.
