I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Recently my dog, Dakota, was sick.  So many Doves prayed for him.  He is doing better.  I lost my 2 older schnauzers (age 13 & 14) within a few months of each other 2 yrs. ago.  They were part of the family.  I know it can be heartbreaking.  I will pray for you.
 
Nothing can replace them.  But a new puppy can help to ease the pain.  They all have a lot of love to give in their own special way and they certainly help to ease the loneliness you are feeling.
 
May God comfort you.
