I have always had two or three dogs for many a year, first time since my grandpa bought me my first puppy when I was fourteen do I now have one. B
When my beloved honey died a month ago I was devasted. I decided I was too old to buy another puppy. It was arrange with younger daughter years ago if I died my dogs would go to her, she adores dogs , has three , lives in the wilds of Lincolnshire , a two acre garden and is waiting to buy a field behind their house, she doesn't work.
When staying with me this month she said I need a puppy - when I put on weight ! My brother has told her he thinks I should have another dog, said my home was empty without dogs around me. My son in law( who isn't) has told me to get a puppy,if I was to end up in hospital with a broken leg he would be around for my dogs and care for them. My two son in laws have said I should.
I have a dog walker, there are two puppy and dog crèches here, the vet is five minutes away
I really can't decide if it would be selfish , every chance it and Lottie could outlive me, Lottie is six.
I don't want a rescue dog ,it may not work with Lottie
Help and be brutally honest please ?
This has nothing to do with the death of my daughter, Honey died about a month before and the conversations started when Honey died.
Seriously, I think you should.
