"Peanut is either on my lap or sitting in Theo's bed.

He's better than he was at the beginning. But still not himself." She went on to speak about plans on adopting a 'friend' for Peanut but admitted to struggling with guilt. "We are looking into adopting a friend for him.

But I must admit I feel so guilty about it," she said. "I just think about Theo. "But our vet said Peanut may be a dog that absolutely needs a companion and it could be detrimental to his well-being if he doesn't have one." Stacey added alongside an adorable photo of her Dachshund: "Why does my heart feels like looking into a friend for Peanut I'm forgetting about Theo. "I really want to make Peanut his bouncy happy playful self again and we have room in our hearts and home for another fur baby but I just feel so bad about it." The Loose Women then asked for advice from her millions of followers about whether they have faced a similar situation.
