I am currently dog-less and I don’t like it one tiny little bit! (Problem will be solved come Spring, though. New Chocolate Lab puppy in the works!)
I only miss ONE of the various cats I’ve had along through the years, though. No more cats in the house. Ever!
I am in the same boat. Our wonderful Corgi companion of 13 years left us last month. We miss him every day. I want to get another; but, we are traveling next September for my daughter's wedding and we will be gone for a while. I think when we come back home, I will be looking for a new pup.
