When our last dog died it was in the month May and my wife and I said to each other that we were going to wait until the beginning of the year to get another dog. We wanted to get through football season and the holidays since we travel a ton in those months. We made it all the way to July 1 before we adopted another dog. The house just felt too quiet and empty without a dog in it.

Yes, it's been a month or so since Gumbo passed away and I still expect to see her when I walk into "her" room.  We still have Pluto, my arch nemesis (and little buddy), but there's deffinitely a void that hasn't filled in yet.

I went twelve years after losing Maggie the Golden to cancer at age 7.  Since 2013, we have had four dogs (King passed in 2020; he was an old fellow when we adopted him).

Gracie will turn 13 in January (pictured plenty in previous posts)
 
Maeby is 6 (as of March).

Archie turns 2 in late November.

I don't know how I went 12 years without a dog.

I don’t want to derail the thread with the rescue v breeder debate. 
 

I obviously bought my dogs. I don’t feel a molecule of shame about it. I have the best two dogs on the planet, but I understand the rescue crowd’s perspective. Rescues becoming the cool thing with celebrities and younger folks has undoubtedly saved millions of dogs’ lives. 
 

With all this in mind, I volunteered at Montgomery County Animal Shelter today. Many of dogs only get walked once a week. I know we all love and spoil the shit of our dogs, so it’s certainly in our wheelhouses to help out. Just something to think about.
