Getting a dog

[rs929]

This would render me technically unable to CTB for maybe 12 years. I wouldn't leave them alone no matter how much I'm suffering. On the other hand, I could feel a lot less lonely. Not saying happy, that's too much, but better.

What do you think? Take the risk and give up CTB?

I mean, Pursuing happiness should always be the move whenever possible.

Get the dog, just such a wonderful idea!

To have another soul who is loyal, kind and a great companion, sounds FANTASTIC!

To wake up to a loving face and a wagging tail is bliss.

Hugs to you and your new companion and please give him/her a pat on their head for me.

My happiest years were when we got a puppy German Sheperd. Father named him Hannibal Lecter (lol) but he was the sweetest thing ever. Moving apartments just because the new one allows for pets (15 pounds and below but whatever... a wins a win). Pets give unconditional love. We rarely as adults get that. Unless u have kids of your own. And in this economy? F that

just make sure you are going to be able to take care of it. i know you mean well when you say you'll never neglect the dog no matter how much you're suffering. but we know mental health can be a mofo.
there are therapy/service dogs and also fostering to see how things go.
