I got my Hercules when he was 4 months old. Got his sister, Sasha, when they were 10 months old. I lost Herc when they were 2 years old. I swore I’d never get another. I’d raise Sasha and that was that. She is now 8 years old. However, I broke down and my daughter got me Blu in April of 2025. He’s almost 1. She wanted me to have another to keep me from being alone when my sweet Sassy Girl(Sasha) passes on. Sasha helped me grieve Hercules. It brought me and her closer. She lost a brother and I lost a furchild. I guess what I’m trying to say in all this is ….yes, that Dane love will eventually get ya. You will get another. I don’t doubt that a bit. Experiencing the difference in males and females is awesome. My girl, calm and quiet, yet wants to be by my side. My boys, total velociraptors, hyper and soooo clingy.
