Am I cruel old fart?
Should i get another dog?
Maybe I'm being too selfish to deny the boys some puppy love

I was exactly like you - had dogs all my life until right before I met my wife. Then I didn't get another - I wanted one but wasn't ready to commit. She wanted one though she had never really had a dog.
My boys, 2 and 6 needed a dog. I needed a dog - just didn't realize how much until we rescued one last summer. She's about the same size and build as daisy. She's been a great addition to the family, a great dog and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.
Here she is just a moment ago...
