Dog or no dog?

Sunday would have been Rowdy's 15th birthday.  Good old Rowdy.


Which makes me think . . . should we get a dog?  There's always a good excuse.  Right now we're holding onto, we have no fence.  We also like, we don't have the extra money in our budget right now to care for a dog.  And I'm saving, I just can't bear the thought of picking up after one more family member.

Plus Ansen and I may never agree on what kind, size, inside/outside dog to get.  Ansen and I both grew up with shelties. Diamond died a few years into our marriage and Rowdy just died 2 years ago.  You would think we were both dog people.  I am, but Ansen just gets stoggier by the year.  The deal was a gun for a dog . . . by all accounts I think I should have several dogs by now. 

No doubt the kids (I mean girls - Drew's a big scaredy cat) would love one, absolutely love one.  And I have considered breeding a dog just for who knows why - I guess I think it would be a good "job" for the kids (mostly me) to learn responsibility.

For now, I am satisified to "think on it" for awhile longer or at least until we get a fence.
