So. I'm feeling really down right now. I had a cocker spaniel named Sassy. She was my best friend, I got her when she was a tiny puppy. Her breeders threw her out because she needed a hernia surgery and they didn't want to deal with it. I got her when I was around 7-8. She passed away July 20, 2014. I was so destroyed I was literally throwing up when I found her.. I'm still heartbroken. There will never be words to express how much she meant to me and how important she was in my life.
I've casually started looking for another american cocker spaniel puppy. It's killing me because none of the shelters around have any cocker spaniels, let alone female puppies. I've found ONE breeder in western ky but they want $700 for a puppy. I completely understand that they're worth that. but it's hard because I can't afford that and I don't work so I'm just stuck and can't get one. I know this seems really stupid but it's just breaking my heart even further. I just miss my girl ♡ )':

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a pet is losing part of your heart, and it's awful. Now, I just want to remind you that you can't replace your old dog. I feel like you're expecting to get the same dog again, and it's just not possible :-( it might be better if you branch out, rescue a sweet dog from a shelter who really needs a home and will love you so much for saving their life. That way you won't expect the same dog, but you will still get a great dog and save a life.
@maybabyboy, Thank you. I completely understand your concern, I had that concern with myself at first but I have had a dog since then, and my boyfriends dog. But his dog was hit by a car (we don't live near the road but he ran away) and I gave mine to a family that lost theirs because I realized I wasn't emotionally ready for another dog. But now I feel like I am.
I know I won't ever have another dog like her and that saddens me but I also know that whatever dog I do get will fill the void in my heart in different ways than she did.
I just really have my heart set on another spaniel, but I have been keeping an eye on shelters.
The main thing is that no matter what I end up with, I need to start out with a puppy with my son.
