Hey Jitterbug,
I have been thinking really hard to try and find the words, however nothing can be said to overcome your trauma.
i'm sure you treat your animals as if they are family, so grieving as you are is completely natural.
My wife is an animal hugger/ RVT and she has dedicated her life to make things better for all animals out there. Understand that your love for your pup is admirable and the reason you hurt is the love returned ten fold. We feel guilty, we question what could we have done different, and we are lonely.
I was like you and said no more pups for awhile, too painful. And than I came across my boy....
Actually my wife did at work, the rest is history.
