It took us two years after we lost our Rottweiler Dice to get another...We actually created what we though would be an impossible scenario to find (Male-standard poodle- around 2 years old) ...We found him lol. It takes time.14 years is a heck of a run for a bigger dog. No thoughts of another dog?!? I don’t want to think about what losing one of our dogs would do to the kids, but at the same time, I don’t think I can ever “not” have a dog again
