Should I get another dog.

See if you can foster a dog. It's a great idea, and it helps rescues out. I have one in my area that provides everything you need to be a foster parent, and you don't have to worry about full time responsibility of the dog. When an adoptive home has been found, your dog will go there. You can repeat the cycle again if you want to continue fostering. I'm looking into it myself as a possibility.

So many dogs need homes, the love that you can give a dog will do nothing but add to your lives, even if you can only have it for a short time and then pass it on to another home where dog love is needed. We are getting to the age that we have to consider the fact that any dog we get may out live us, so we are careful to make sure that someone else in the family can take over if that happens. We are living without a house cat due to that fact, but i think we will try to give a home to an older cat this Summer. love of pets needs to be shared not kept to your selves.

If I was in the same situation, I'd probably get another dog, and it would probably be a rescued dog too. Lots of dogs stay home while their owners work, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. When my dog was home (while I was at work) I'd provide her with a good chew bone, and her favorite toys, as well as an old blanket with my scent on it. She learned quick what time I'd be back and she always waiting by the door when I came home. If she were truly lonesome, I'm sure she'd be whining or barking, and the neighbors said that she never barked or anything, unless somebody pulled into the drive or came to the door. If you have to move, there are still plenty of alternatives, and a 'wait and see' might be the ticket. I wouldn't be without my Kelly, she brings me joy and smiles, and she's always glad to see me when I get home. Think about some poor dog who's lonely because there is no one to love them...and by providing one a loving home, well, at least one dog in the world is really happy:-)

If a new dog can bring you happiness, then it is good to have one. Looking after a pet is never an easy task. And when they are gone, we feel so bad because we already regard them as a member of our family. Since your husband is already looking for a new puppy, so probably it is a good time for you to have a new one. I love China

After caring for several dogs when we had maids to run the house when we were not at home we decided not to have any more as at the moment we do not have the kind of help one needs that care for dogs. But a little pup just walked into our gate - a stray. We always had pedigree but we were encouraging others to go in for strays. Now this pup did all what it could to get our love and here she is now 4 years old but let me warn you our social life is at a standstill. We don't regret it though as she more than provides the joy which is incomparable. I suggest you go for it and time will take care of everything

I had a dog that was part of my family for over 12 years. When she passed away it broke all of our hearts. That was 6 years ago and so far none of us want to experience that again. On the other hand, dogs are so therapeutic and fun and I know you would not regret getting another dog. What ever you decide, your concern assures me that you genuinely love dogs. Good luck on your choice.

since you already had a dog, i think you can handle having one again. maybe you'll have to adjust again because it's been two years since you had a dog. but that will be very minimal. we also have a dog, a pitbull. and it really help a lot specially being the guard of the house. even my kids play with it. and sometimes its our way of having a family bonding when we all play with him.
