We do plan on waiting a while before getting another one.
I understand completely. I know a couple that lost their boxer and their children went out and bought a new one right away without asking. It didn't feel right as they were still grieving and felt it was an injustice to their departed dog to get a replacement so soon.
The dog was really, really, special btw. It greeted customers (they own a bait and tackle) and was extremely obedient and sweet.
