So. I very carefully considered the pros and cons of having a dog in ER. It was clear that it would complicate travel plans, limit time we could be away from home, cost money in grooming, vet bills and food. Obivously the cons outweigh the pros of simply having a fuzzy companion around the house.
So we pick up the puppy tonight.
It is a purebred Great Pyrenees, but put up for adoption through the Humane Society. They carefully screened 34 applicants and selected us for the "honor" of recieving one. Part of me is saying we must be out of our minds. But 9 months without a dog, since Rufus died was the longest I'd ever been without one, and some sort of addiction mechanism kicked in, I was like a junkie looking for smack, googling puppy websites all day...... :
Do those of you with dogs find they limit or add to your ER lifestyle?
Any suggestions for naming a dog that will be pure white and 100 lbs?
