It's obvious she loves dogs; she volunteers at a rescue organization and enjoys it..
It would be one more rejected animal that found a happy home.
I believe as we age, we should surround ourselves with things that make us happy, like gardens, flowers, books, plants, dogs, cats, etc.
Whatever makes us happy.
I agree. Not once did the OP ask whether or not to get a dog. Personal anecdotes about traveling with a dog is what s/he was seeking, and some suggestions as to how it works.

I think the forum is a perfect place to ask for this kind of information. Get ideas; see what might work for your own personal situation.
