KRL. your post is a wonderful testament that we can have new friends after we lose those so dear to us. I had taken in a dachshund a few months before my beloved died that was one too many at my sister's house. He has never been a close pet but he had bred with my sister's Jack Russell and she had kept the smallest girl of the litter. I took her in a couple months after my dog died and she has become quite my little buddy. She stays right with me like my old buddy did. Her mix makes her look just like a min-pin and she has the athletics of the russell. Between her and her dad I have quite the little ankle-nipper alarm system, LOL
