Stop in for a cup of coffee

So I need opinions. As I said last night, my wife lost her 10 month old Corgi thanks to a car. Wife is very tore up, one because she died and two, because she saved for that dog for nearly 2 years.

I’ve been all over the web and making phone calls, I’ve found a 5 week old corgi that is about 7 hours away at a breeder. She’s more than what we paid for the other but not by much. Similar markings and colors as the one we just lost.

My question is, will it actually help my wife grieve and move on or would it make I worse? She(the dog) wouldn’t come home until mid September so there’s some time before I have to tell my wife.

Yes, get it...

I really missed my Dalmatians that I had after they died and thought about them every day... Then my ex had a friend that had a Dalmatian that she was watching for a friend that moved away to California and was supposed to get it later... She never came to get the Dal...

Meanwhile she was keeping it with a couple of cats in her house that she didn't live in, but checked on it a few times a day... The neighbors called animal control who told her to take better care of it or they will take it away...

She gave it to me and it helped me get over my lost Dalmatians...
