Funny....again we are thinking alike. At first I didn't have any desire to get another dog....she was one of a kind. But lately I've caught myself thinking about it a lot. I miss the warm cuddles. I was Looking on-line just this morning for near-by rescue puppies. I mentioned to my guy the other day that I would like to get a "pocket-puppy" and I could even take to work with me every day so as to not be a bother to him (yes, my boss loves me. I have an aquarium at work, too) and my guy said "NO!!!" He thinks we are to old and the dog would outlive us but he forgets that I am much younger than him.

I think it is more that he watched the heartbreak I went through loosing the other. She declined so her last year. It really was pitiful .... she had been such a spirited athletic animal. It was very difficult for all of us.

As you know I have been thinking of letting my own little business go.... It causes more seclusion and confinement. You are right, I need a hobby that is more uplifting.

I think we may be on to something, though.
