  1. So, about 2 weeks ago we had to put our 13 year old dog Rudy down. He was basically the first thing we were responsible for when my wife and I first moved in together, our first "child." I was 21 and she was 19. He was a good dog and it was a surprise to have to put him down. I had been playing with him on the morning of Friday the 28th of August and 24 hours later he was gone. They think something was attacking his liver and his brain and it had progressed to a point that he went down hill fast. We had noticed him sleeping more and his arthritis was bad, but we thought we had a decent amount of time left with him. He was attached to my hip no matter where I went and I was his master in his mind..................my poor wife fell somewhere in the hierarchy below our children in his mind! I've never had to do something like this and it REALLY sucked as I'm sure several of you can attest to. So having said all this, we still have a 12 year old dog, Reggie, that is basically my wife's dog, he could care less if I'm alive most days. Working evenings Rudy was just about my only connection to my family at times and to be honest I'm going to start talking to the dishwasher soon if this continues! So how long do you think it's okay to wait until you get another dog? My wife and I are both through the grieving process IMO, and while I'm completely ready to get another dog, I don't know if she is, but if I did get one I bet she'd surprise herself. There is no way I can replace the dog we lost, it's impossible, so I know that going in, just looking for thoughts on what others did. Both of our dogs are Maltese's by the way, I have terrible allergies to most things that shed and these dogs along with a few others are really the only dogs I can have around and not have any issues with.
