The dog jones

I want another dog. I miss that doggy presence in the house, and the cats are getting way too spoiled. But. I have to admit it's simpler without one these days. Henry doesn't seem to miss having one and he can't really be counted on to care for a dog, so it's all on me. So I'm vacillating.

Reasons not to get a dog:

• Yet another mouth demanding to be fed at 7 am
• No picking up dog poop
• One less guilt-inducing thing waiting at home
• No barking

This is Teddy, waiting for adoption right now in Bend

I've already started to stalk Petfinder.com, so it's probably just a matter of time...
