We lost our gentle, calm first dog at the beginning of October at age 13 (above average for her breed). I'm still absolutely devastated but DH wants to get another dog. We got our DD from the breed rescue society and would like to adopt another rescue dog. DH wants to get the same breed, but I'm really uncomfortable with this as the particular breed are so identical. I don't think I could cope with it at the moment, but I need another dog to get me out of the house and exercise.
I'm also feeling right now that it's nice to be able to plan a few hours out without having to think about exercising a dog beforehand and then worrying about the number of hours they're left alone.
I don't know that I'm ready for the responsibility of another dog right now but I miss our DD so much. I work from home and the day is so long without them.
Has anyone else been through this? Did you get another dog (same breed?)? How long did it take?
Thanks
