When my RB Pepper, a poodle, died I was so miserable that I wanted another pet within weeks so my husband agreed to a kitten and I got Ripley. Even though I had him it wasn't the same as a dog so about a year later I got Disney.

My husband is not a huge dog person and he prefers bigger ones that stay outside. Any dog I have will stay inside at least some/most of the time so since he and I can't agree I've decided that I won't get another dog when Disney passes.

If the day ever comes that we buy a new house with more land I intend to get a couple of large breed dogs though.
