Hello. My baby of 11 years had passed away last week. This would be my pomeranian and I am devastated. I am fearful now of getting another puppy during Corona.

Question
I am having a sad day today. My mothers new husband passed 3 weeks ago because of Corona, Now, yesterday my best friend passed of old age. This is the worst time for all of this. I am reeling with grief!

That sounds terrible. I can understand why you're sad today. That's a lot to take in around the holidays.

Reflection of feelings
I am afraid to get another puppy. Yes you are right it is TOO much! I do not know how to deal. It seems everyone I talk to is going through a horrendous time with this virus and all the horrible predicaments it is putting people in. I am trying not to be selfish with my feelings knowing everyone else is having a bad time too...but DAMN! It almost is too much to take.... Should I get another puppy riht away? I feel very lonely without him.

I work at home now and I have a husband who does the same. Also my two kids got o school online. They are sad as well, but everyone knows he was my bestie,

It might be just what you need to have something to wake up and look forward to each day. Especially during times like now when everyone is spending so much time alone inside.

It is a spot not filled by humans. Yes. I suppose. Maybe even two would be better.

I completely agree. Having a dog as a companion has been a life saver to me in so many situations.

I would want him to have a friend this time. What kind of dog do you have?

Having a playmate for the dog will make it easier to justify leaving when you do need to go back to work in the office. The puppy won't be lonely. I have a yellow lab! He's great!

I hope to get a dog who enjoys working out with me like he did. Oh and I am not going back into an office! Not for awhile...probably not forever. I do have the option of staying home and working indefinetly so I am grateful for that.

I'd suggest a dog with a lot of energy if you like to workout! What kind of dog did you have previously?

Reflection of feelings
Pomeranian....he really didn't work out with me:), just running, jumping , and keeping up with my energy....doing what doggies do. His energy was happiness to me.

Pomeranians are such cute dogs! They always look like they're smiling! And they're small enough that having two won't be crowded!
