How to get another dog
It made me
happy
 "I found a great dog at the shelter. It's been a bit difficult getting used to him, and him getting used to us, but he's fitting in great now and we really love him."
How I did it: I just went to various local shelters until I found a dog I thought would be a good fit. I made sure he met my dog first and that he was tested with cats. He did fine. It was a bit of an adjustment at first - he is a bit dominant and a little too curious about the cats sometimes. But he's super smart and a real lover. He gets along fine with my other dog and generally leaves the cats alone. And he loves to cuddle with me. Lessons & tips: If you have other pets, make sure the new dog will get along with them. Be prepared to do some work with your dogs to get them in a good place together. Resources: My local shelter

How I did it: I finally decided to go out to a pet store and there he was. I knew he was the one the minute he started crying when I was leaving the shop. See the thing was he was a little pricey being a pedigree and all. S o I looked around the other shops and I couldn't forget him so I went back and took the risk . True he cost almost 300 dollars but he was worth every penny . I can't stop thinking of him even when he's asleep.A cute toy pomera… Read how I did it…

My family is going to get another dog, semi-young, from a shelter and name him Indiana.
At least when we have two kids, and the youngest is four.

We had to give my dog, Bruno, away after he bit another dog on my block. My neighbor sort of threatened my family because they were worried he was going to attack a kid so we thought it was best to let Bruno live with his original family. He seems really content living with them (and we still get to visit), but I would love to have another dog. My parents don’t want to get another dog because they’re worried about my neighbor and I can’t really get my own dog while I’m in college, but I miss having a pet at home. :( Luckily, I think we might be getting another cat, so that will be nice to have another pet.

Maggie
18 months ago
We lost Maggie, our beloved Golden Retriever, in January. She died of hemangiosarcoma, a form of canine cancer. It was sudden and wholly unexpected—she was her silly self up until the day she died.
Losing Maggie has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life. There is a terrible emptiness in the house. I started and ended my day with her: she’d jump on my bed and step all over me to wake me up in the morning, and if I came in late at night, she’d come to greet me—and scold me! She always sat beside me at dinnertime (she knew I was the most likely to “accidentally” drop food). If she wanted attention, she’d find some kind of household treasure to retrieve (her favorite finds were dishtowels and dirty underwear). She was such a sweet, funny girl. We had Maggie for seven years, and she brought us joy and laughter every single day. Our house doesn’t feel like a home without her.
Though Maggie can’t be replaced, I want to give my love to another dog. We have some work being done on our house, and while I know this isn’t the most practical time, I feel that opening our home to another dog could help us to heal.
We’ll see…
