I make houses out of matches as a hobby.  I have a dog that I live alone with. I have a PhD. I gamble. I don't have money. I don't like flying.
I enjoy listening to rock music. I like the color purple. I don't have any pets. I have a Master's degree. I like blackjack. I haven't traveled recently. I shop online for fun.
I just got back from the animal shelter. I wanted to see if I could find a dog that would be a good fit for me. I never had a pet before. Is it a lot of work taking care of one? Yes, taking care of a dog is so much work! But it's also really rewarding. My biggest fear is that the new dog won't get along with the dog I currently have. What kind of breed is your current dog? She's a golden retriver. She's five years old and is the friendliest dog that I've ever met. Still it can be hard introducing a new dog. Do you have any pet-loing friends that has ore than one dog? Maybe they can give you advice. Well anyone else I know that owns dogs adopted them together. I've watched a lot of videos on introducing new dogs and think it should work. But it just has to be done slowly. Yeah, it looks like you need to be careful when picking your new dog. Having two dogs fighting in your home could easily turn deadly. I don't know that it'd turn deadly. But it could get expensive to have to replace all of my furniture when I didn't even have the money to buy it in the first place. And worse could destroy some of my matchstick houses that I've spent hours working on! I would be livid if that happens. One of the reasons I haven't gotten a pet yet. That's understandable. It's why I was so nervous about getting pets in the first place. But everything did seem to work out and she really hasn't caused any issues. Seems the emotional support pets bring was worth the risk.
