Oh wow, what nice news! I hope it works out well with your new Springer!

We haven't had the heart yet to get another dog, but part of that is that we like to travel, and we both work very hard, and often long hours, so we don't really have the time or energy to integrate a dog into our lifestyle. As well, we will be moving to a condo apartment in about a year, so if we ever do get another dog some day, it will be a small one. I can imagine doing that when we're retired and have more time and less money. For now, I'm content to have a cat, warm and furry is good.
