Pomeranian Puppy(not bunny related)

[Crashley]

Hey everyone

I have been thinking about a certain decision..

In august, I lost my best friend of 17 yrs. It was my sweet Pomeranian girl Beans. She was 17 yrs old and had congestive heart failure. I have yet to write alittle something in the rainbow bridge section. But even typing this is making me start crying. I truly cant handle it.

I miss my girl everyday as I was 5 yrs old when  I got her and I am 23 yrs old now. 

I have been thinking about getting another pomeranian.I want one so bad, not sure if its to fil the hole in my heart, that is unfillable. B/c no other animal can replace my sweet Beans. Matt(my fiance) already told me he would support me if i were to get one. But it wont be till next yearish if i decide to get one, however I have been looking at them online. To find a decent priced one. But a part of me feels guilty in way. I know if I had held one I would just cry, tears of joy from remembering my sweet girl. I really want one, theyre such good dogs. Has anyone else lost a dear friend and got a new friend?

I have , parrots , bunnies , dogs , chinchillas , fish , cats, I’ve loved and lost them all
It’s like having children,your heart does not divide, instead your love grows
Beans will always hold the place in your heart she holds now – your heart will grow more space to fit love for new one
There is no replacement , nor would you expect that – but a good 17 years with new friend in a new phase in your life – memories to your collection along with the memories you had with beans

No matter how many pets you get after your the pet you lost, she or he will always hold a special place in your heart. No pet will ever be replaced. If you feel that you are ready don’t let past pets stop you Beans would want you to give another pet a wonderful life just like her

Thank you Bostons Mama, and Bunny Buzz. I guess I really needed to hear that.
I have been on the lookout for a pom.I am really excited though.

We lost our dog a year ago on the Fourth of July. She was 17 years old as well. People keep asking when we will get another dog, but I honestly can’t answer that question. It’s still hard. That being said, if you feel you want to open your heart to another dog, I wouldn’t let your memories of Beans hold you back. As others have said, you would not be replacing her and your heart will grow to accommodate all the “new” love that is to come. Don’t worry, you wouldn’t be betraying her in any way. And I really don’t think she would think that either.

Thankyou LBJ10. Its so incredibly hard. I have decided to wait until my birthday which is in march and then at that point I would reconsider my decision to get one. Because right now its hard to determine what my feelings are. I still sleep with her little bed in the corner of my bed. So, i think im gonna wait it out. Though I do love those little poms and I always will. here is my mantle. that little jar with the cork has her little tooth in it. That as she was getting older her teeth were falling out and I saved one of her k-9 teeth, and that little container has a bunch of fur. My girl <3

I understand that it’s difficult. The pain of missing a much loved pet goes against the desire to have a new one to help heal the wound. I actually found it helped me to go and see others of that animal. When I lost Bandit almost 2 years ago, it was extremely difficult but I found myself wanting another rabbit after just a few months and I felt like I couldn’t get past the loss without getting another. So I went to a rabbit club and met some other people’s bunnies and I met some buns available for adoption without actually adopting. Each time I met another rabbit it was easier. Rather than just my next interaction with a rabbit being when I went to adopt, that would have been too overwhelming. So I don’t know if it will help for you, but maybe look up some Pomeranian clubs online, or look up local dog shows or rescues and go to them just to look or talk to other owners and meet their dogs. That way you don’t have to jump in completely head first and can prepare yourself for that moment

Azerane, thankyou very much. Thats how I feel..if i look at pictures of beans tears will just start flowing down my face. But I sit and look at adoptable and available pomeranians. The more I look at them to purchase, i feel like it is desensitising me. As wierd as it is, i neeed that. Of course I have my sweet bunnies that I cuddle with every night. my bunnies are my babies but they not filling this hole that is wide open in my heart.

I think part of my fear, especially with adopting an adult dog, is having to go through the pain of losing them again. I know that sounds weird, but I was absolutely devastated when our dog passed. She was a part of our lives for 17 years. For me, it was like losing a child. So yeah… we’re just not ready. I think it’s good that looking at dogs available for adoption is helping you Crashley. I’m sure the right one will eventually come along and you will just know.
