1. We get attached because they give us unconditional love

We've continually had three dogs, and for a short time four, since 1990, adding new furry children along the way. It has been my experience that the surving dogs don't stop grieving until a new member joins the pack. This has worked every time. If you do get a new dog, be sure to introduce them in a neutral spot, such as at a park or even down the street a little ways. Let them get friendly, then bring them all home together, cutting down on the need to be territorial. Good luck to all of you.
