Great post! We were without a pet for a little over a year once because hubby said, "No more dogs." Yes, we could come and go when we wanted and stay gone for however long we wanted. More free time for ourselves. But it was lonely. We ended up getting another one and then another. We may not get to stay gone that extra hour or two anymore, but we get so much more in return each and every day. Plus it lead me to a volunteer job that I absolutely love.
