Sorry for your loss, Zep. My first, all-of-my-own dog was also a Rufus, a Golden Retriever/Irish Setter mix. He went everywhere with me--a constant companion, often in the back of the pick-up or in the cab when it was too cold or wet. He went up North with me for my year away from the Cape in my mid-twenties. He was a job dog and often beat me to the site after I let him out to do his business in the morning. Like you, losing him was harder than anything I ever went through and I couldn't work for a week--I'd just start tearing up on the job and have to leave.

Your new guy will come around and help fill that empty spot in your life and heart and become your new best friend.

Edit: BTW, I "liked" your post, but wish there was a way to use two emoji's there as in 😢 and 🤣.

Thank you all for the kind word's it really means alot. Chazzy you know exactly what I'm going through. Rufus is the first dog that ever just lived in the house with me. The others stayed in the garage and just came in once in a while.

Rufus went everywhere with me, even slept on the bed in the bend of my legs. I built him a folding ramp so he could climb up on the bed. He was diagnosed with diabetes 3 1/2 years ago, the vet didn't think he'd live a week but we showed him! I'd set an alarm and get up at 3am every morning and check his blood sugar. I still wake up a 3 even without the alarm, usually cry myself back to sleep. I thought I was a big tuff guy who hadn't cried in year's, but I lost it over Rufus. After a week I was getting worse and went in to see my doctor. He gave me some med's, but they didn't do very much.

I still have the husky mix dog Jack and probably wouldn't have made it without him. I really didn't want another dog but saw buster in a facebook group and had to have him.Those puppy dog eyes got me.. I'll never stop missing Rufus, but getting Buster has really helped. Again thank you all for the kind word's.

Dogs will do that to you. They create a special bond that I don’t think we really appreciate until they’re gone. And then there’s just a huge hole that’s left. I lost my best bud last year, and we just got a new golden pup about a month ago. They never completely fill the void from the ones that left us, but they sure help a lot.
