We didn't end up getting the new dog. I listened to my family and getting a job is more vital at this point. I completely understand their reasoning. Monetary issues were all that was keeping me from getting him as well. I guess I am just afraid that I missed a perfect companion for Kylie. He was everything that I wanted. It still bugs me every day. I guess I am just going to have to learn to live with it. At least he is in foster care now and out of the shelter. Hopefully he will get adopted to a great family. I just want him to have a great life. Even if it is not in our family.
