How sad. Great Danes are wonderful dogs, and I know how heartbroken
you are right now.
I have had dogs in the past, but none for about 10 years (not allowed in
the apartments). Raising a puppy is a lot of work. Walking, potty
training, etc..
Goodnight, sweet Rocket.......

Oh Amy, I'm crying with you. I'm so so sorry you've lost your
beloved Rocket. Please know my thoughts are with you and all your
family, kitties included. I've never had a puppy (or even a dog)
so i don't know how it would be for you in terms of work involved, what
with baby on way too. I do know my friend who got a puppy couldn't believe
the amount of energy she needed to keep up with him. I know she found the
early weeks (months?) really difficult. (Just a thought, but would you
consider an older dog?)
>From an emotional point of view, you know
yourself better than anyone else does, so IMHO, I'd say follow your
heart. Thinking of you, and hoping all the many memories of the good times
with your darling Rocket will eventually bring you comfort, love and big
hugs, Kerry

Off Topic - Rocket, our Great Dane, is gone
Hi all,
You
probably remember me posting trying to find a home for a kitty a few weeks
ago because I'm pregnant and had a Great Dane with bone cancer and couldn't
take it in.
Well I'm just writing to let you know that we
lost our Great Dane this week. I've lost so many cats to leukemia
that I thought I was prepared for this but I wasn't. It's
awful. Rocket did everything with us, even squeezed into our bed at
night despite there being no room with us and 5 kitties. Rocket isn't
a cat but he was as much part of our family as our five kitties who now
miss him terribly.
I also have one question. I'm heartbroken and
I miss him terribly and want to go out and get another one. Whenever I
lose a kitty, I always go find another one to rescue. I'm not
replacing the one that is lost but it helps me move on. I'm expecting
a baby Sep 6th and everybody tells me I'm crazy to think about a
puppy but our house is so empty without a Great Dane and the cats miss
him as much as we do. Has anybody ever raised a puppy and a newborn
at the same time? Any suggestions or thoughts? Is it selfish to
bring a puppy in right
now?
Amy
