None now. We had a 10 year old black lab who was the best dog in the world but we had to put him to sleep on Wednesday. He had bone cancer and was reaching the point where walking was very hard for him. He still had a good disposition (we were giving him pain meds from the vet, so he was fairly comfortable) and was still eating well. It was a heart-wrenching decision and the first time I"ve had to do this. I miss him more than I ever would have imagined. I swore we wouldn't get another dog as we travel a lot and have to board the dog when we go. (We live in the country too far away from family to ask them to help. We do have one neighbor who has helped on occasion, but hate to ask all the time.) Dh asked on Wednesday night, though, if we should get a puppy. I can't believe I'm considering it! The house just seems so empty without a pet......
