Lisa,

Congrads...we all know there will always be an empty space for the old, but new love found for the new.

It's a good thing.

Congrats, congrats! I know you're excited!
I've got 3 springer spaniels and 2 maltese - they say that maltese are actually little spaniels, not in the terrier group like originally thought, so you can see I love those spaniels! My next dog will be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or an English cocker, assuming I don't take in any more springer or maltese 'orphans'!

Congrats on the new addition! I'm so sorry about your other one...my little T had Lymphoma and passed away last year in July and I got Chelsea a few days later so I totally understand how you feel. :) The 'new' ones never replace the 'old' ones but they do help to fill that void.

Hugs and kisses from Sherry and Cheli Bells

Thanks everyone!

MissSherry - My grandmother had a Maltese years ago. I remember her and I can definitely see similarities between them and the spaniel group! I met a Cavalier for the first time in Key West a couple summers ago and fell head over heels in love with him! I had no idea what kind of dog it was, but I knew I had to have one - so the second we got home I started "researching". And the rest is history. ;) I'll post pics when I bring her home - the color I'm getting is Blenheim. I had initially wanted a male because I've read they're SUPER affectionate, but while visiting the breeder I was sitting in the grass and when I looked down there was a little girl in my lap! So a female it will be. :)

Tdogmom - I actually remember you and T from a while back. I'm not on here quite as often lately, but I remember all of that happening. Poor little gal. I'm glad you got to get a new baby though. You're right - that void is SO big. Weird thing - our old dog was named Chelsea.

todancewithwolves - HAHA I love that picture! And I love puppy breat! Hahaha.

Just a few more days left! I pick her up Tuesday after work. I made her a little toy box yesterday out of a Staples "paper case" box from work. I decoupaged pink scrapbook paper onto the box, and then added graduating sizes of dog-oriented scrapbook paper over top of it. :) She has so many toys already! I just can't wait to get her home!!! XD
