That's lovely Blossom. I've just done the same as you. I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell & hubby & I said we'd wait 2 months or so but after just 2 weeks I missed her so much I couldn't wait that long.
We now have a 10 week old cross westie/cairn & my world has been turned upside down, I'm exhausted, I worry all the time about him, I'm for ever cleaning up after him.....would I have it any other way??
CERTAINLY NOT, I love the little fella.
You will have a wonderful Christmas with your little girl.
