Some people are saying you should wait until you're emotionally ready. And that's true. Give yourself time to heal. I know you loved her, so get one when you feel ready.

Bourbon did ask if you have made adjustments to avoid a repeat perfomance. First of all, I think you should keep in mind that Dizzy dying wasn't your fault, and hopefully Bourbon wasn't implying that. Accidents happen (also I hope you don't hate your dog...it's their nature), and some are unavoidable. Second: if you do want to made adjustments to keep the cage closed, try a lot of different methods. Also you might find it advantageous to (if the cage fits) put it up higher where your dogs can't get to it.

If you decide to get another one, good luck and hopefully you can form as good a bond as you did with Dizzy. Good luck.
