Miley Cyrus is ready to love again ...

No, she hasn't fully moved on from ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth, but she's starting -- just starting -- to get over the death of her beloved pooch Floyd who died unexpectedly a couple months ago.

Cyrus has been on her Bangerz tour in Europe but now that she's back home, she's nesting with new pup Emu Coyne Cyrus, as she announced in an Instagram post today:

    "Time to start making Emu accounts smilers. Hes here and here to stay. I welcomed Emu Coyne Cyrus into the family a couple days ago. Been keepin him a secret cause sometimes I'm weird like that. It's taken some time to be ready for this next step and loving again. There will never be anyone like Floyd. There was a bond that was so deep it's irreplaceable but that's not what I am trying to do. Never will I replace Floyd and that's something I had to take time to understand. We had a very special memorial service for Floyd and I felt my angel Floydy give Emu his blessing. I prayed to Floyd to just give him a touch of his awesomeness and he has. He is so special and different than my baby Floyd and I think Floyd did that on purpose. But sometimes he does little things that remind me of him and it makes me smile I'm blissed the out right now I feel like this is a new beginning in so many ways. I feel a change coming on."


Adorbs!
