Have you ever lost your beloved dog, and replaced it with one just like it, and found it to be all wrong?

I had a Springer Spaniel that I love so much. She died, and I was crushed and had a hard time handling it. It took me 2 years to find another puppy Springer that I thought looked like my Penny. I called her Penny 2. But I began to regret getting her because she was nothing like Penny 1. When she died, I decided not to get another Springer. So I looked for about 3 years, and then I found the little Bichon Frise, that don’t shed. I bought 2 little sister Bichon’s. They are mine and my husbands heart throbs.
When they get old and pass, I will not get any more Bichons. I will get an entirely different breed, that doesn’t shed. Because no other Bichon’s will ever be the same as our little Maddy & Paddy. What would you do?
