Rugerhound,
I have thought of bringing another critter home, but it is a bit early for me. Just now am enjoying the company of my 13 yo Standard Poodle, Iris. She has finally quit running around the house looking for Violet when she thinks she hears kitty noises. It was hard on her too as she has never know life without Violet.
We are both doing well and maybe we will add a new kid someday.
Thanks again for posting that picture, it is priceless. Cathy
