We don't currently have any plans for a new pet, but I know my husband and I like the idea of having another dog some day. A dog wouldn't fit into our lifestyle right now, so it wouldn't be fair to us, or the dog, to get one now. But we both have such loving, fond memories of dogs we've had and we'd love to have that again. Our cats are wonderful friends and they can't be replaced by a dog (nor would we WANT them to be!) My husband has the capacity to have many pets at once, but I don't. I do think I'd like a chance, one day, to train a dog properly. My sweet lab/redbone coonhound mix wasn't properly trained, poor girl. (she was the best dog, ever, though, as she aged!) and I'd like to have time to put that special effort into a dog. Both my husband and I have had "mutts" in the past, so a certain breed isn't really important, although we would want a medium-to-large sized dog.
