Obviously I'm still grieving the loss of my Boston terrier on Tuesday, but my thoughts now are on my health.

My dog helped me get up in the morning and gave me a reason to do normal, every day things. Taking care of him gave me the oomph to get though the day. He wasn't trained to do anything special--he just kept me company. Without him, I am terribly lonely. I don't work, and my kids are in school all day, so having him kept me sane.

I am thinking of getting a new dog. The pound is having a $7 sale tomorrow, and it also has a high euthanasia rate. I know Otis would want me to give the gift of love to another dog in need.

Would it be unreasonable to get another companion dog? I feel like I'm drowning in isolation right now.
