Welcome to Chazhound, Ida
This is a place where you can talk about your Ebony 'til your heart's content. Most of us have had to part with a creature who left a huge empty place in our hearts and empathize with you. Karen's right, though. The right dog will find its way to you one day and will snuggle into your heart right next to Ebony's spot and you'll know Ebony sent that one to take care of you and keep you from being lonely.
