My sincerest condolences Archie. Nothing affects me like the loss of, or suffering of a dog, aside from bad things happening to my kids. Dogs are a gift. Your plan to fill the void sounds good, but for me it would be many mini-separations that probably wouldn't make it any easier! The more people I meet, the more I like my dog. When I was a kid, I had a plan I would announce to everyone who would listen, and that's I was going to move to Sakatchewan, with my dog and my Jeep CJ-5. All I need
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Sorry to hear Archie, truly a heartbreaking time. we have put down 3 Boxers over the years, it gets harder every time. We have had a dog for 23 years straight, most years with 2 at a time. It is sad to see the younger dog looking for their mentor. It took us 13 months to decide to get another dog, in November. It was strange having no dog. We got an American Bulldog, Artie. My Avatar is his picture from Nov.6th right after i picked him from a litter of 10. He is 4 months old today. I never heard of a valley Bulldog, but I google it, and they look like Arties father. I was surprised to find out that there a 15 breeds of Bulldogs.
Anyway, so sorry for you Archie, I know I am completely heartbroken for about 2 days, every time. But I always think of how many smiles and laughs they brought us over the years. A few days of heartbreak is still worth it.
Being a connection to your late son must truly amplify the mourning. Thinking of you Archie. I never met a Newfie I didn't like. Mostly because they could keep up with me drinking. But I don't do that anymore. Newfoundlanders are actually happy when someone knocks on their door at supper time...come on in, grab a chair, hungry ? Us mainlanders could learn a lot from you guys.
Why not post a picture of Marley ? If you are up to it.

I am truly very sorry for your loss my friend, both of them in fact, as I expect Marley's passing was a reminder of your son Philip's so very early departure from this world.
Coincidently, my youngest son's name is Phillip, with an extra L.
Again, sorry for your loss Archie.

My sincere condolences, Archie. I didn’t know about your son either.
We just had our second child in September, and his name is Philip. Our dog Wilma, a Welsh Springer Spaniel, will be 6 in March. I prefer not to think too much about the day I have to take the final trip to the vet with her.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I can never get photo's to appear. Or I would post a pic of her Best way is to use an image hosting site. I use this one LINKIt is free. Drag and drop your photo. It then gives you share links. BBCode links work for me here at SimHQ. copy/paste the link(from IMGUR) in your SimHQ post. It will appear.

Rescue dogs are certainly the way to go and I applaud anyone who rescues.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
