  ps Adopt A Dog! My Rainbow Bridge  Please, Join Me Here.  Write Your Stories I talked to a friend who lost her dog recently.  (I just lost 2 of my precious dogs - Benny & Dukie). She says that her way to get over the grief is to celebrate their life by writing about the good, the funny and even the aggravating stories of their life!  What a great idea.

My precious Adopted Shorty - Dog Adoption - Why You Should Hang In There

photo credit: otakuchick

Before you rush ahead & welcome a new dog into your home there are several very important points to consider. Firstly where you’re living, what type of accommodation is it? Bungalow, cottage, flat, apartment, caravan etc, etc. What does it have to offer a dog? Does it have a safe garden or area that your dog can relieve itself in & better still run around in? Are there stairs for the dog to master inside the property; are there steps outside the property? Do you have a shared hallway or stairwell so there’s a strong chance you & your dog will encounter members of the public on a daily basis?

There are so many different scenarios involved.  You need to decide how exactly a dog will fit into your life.  And then, choose a dog that fits the mold.

It’s a joy a pleasure to adopt a dog.  It’s rewarding to adopt a dog.  But, it also takes thought and planning to adopt the right do for you.  The last thing in the world you want is to offer your dog a new home, and then take him back.  Please, do not do that.
