Wait at least a few weeks before getting another dog.
Don't overlook the impact this might have on other pets in the household.
Don't Shop, Adopt!
Try not to compare your old dog with your new one.
Revelation 5:13.
If I may, I would also like to share how I came to know this particular scripture because I think it’s a pretty amazing story. My mom, dad, aunt and uncle were visiting family friends in California. These friends live on a large ranch where they run cattle, have horses and dogs. My family was discussing our mutual love of animals when my Aunt Carmen voiced her concern about what happens to our animals after they pass away. Our family friends then gave her the scripture above and my Aunt has never forgotten it. The crazy thing about it is, a year or so later, my Grandparents decided to pay the same friends a visit. While they were there, my Aunt Carmen got a message on her machine from my Grandma asking her for the scripture. My Aunt was puzzled because she knew my Grandmother was visiting the very people that gave it to her in the first place, why wouldn't my grandmother ask them? As it turns out, neither our friends nor my parents (who were also there) have any recollection of this scripture being shared among them during that initial visit. My aunt and uncle are the only ones who remember! God works in mysterious ways...
