I had a great couple of dogs, but the losing the last one about killed me. She was only 2 years old and she developed a brain tumor. From first symptom to putting her down due to uncontrollable seizures was less than 2 weeks. I also got fired the day I put my dog down (after 9 years...corporate downsizing and I wouldn't take a transfer to Houston, but that's a long story that is not a feel good thread material). That dog was perfect. I still miss her and that was 3 years ago. My wife found a 8 pound noise maker that I would classify as bait. She loves the dog. I tolerate the dog. No more dogs until I see one that wants to hunt and likes to ride.

I sell structural steel and pre-engineered metal buildings. Started erecting buildings at 15 and construction put me through college. I stuck with it. I still do the exact job I did before I was let go, but for a smaller company that treats me with respect. I really like the owners and report directly to them. It's a good gig.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Savage. It's hard to lose a pet. I lost my yellow Lab 7 years ago to a brain tumor. She was about 8. Wife and I were in Idaho on vacation when my daughter called and said the vet put her down. It was a sad day indeed.
Last year I lost my 13 year old Miniature Dachshound to heart failure. Again, wife and I had just left for vacation in Utah when my daughter called that night to say he passed away. He was a wonderful dog, friend, buddy. I miss him still.
I told my wife, I don't think we should get another dog as much as we are on the go with 4-wheelin and camping. She agreed, for about 1 month. My daughter begged us not to get another dog. Since two of them had passed away under her care, while we were on vacation. Then my wife started a quest to find a Westie. west highland terrier - Google Search I reminded her about not getting another dog so soon and she said she had to have this dog. I was very reluctant since losing two dogs.
Well, she found one. Over by Mitchell, SD. 350 miles away and only $800.
That was last September, and here we are 1 year later and this little 18 pound white furry pup is the best 4-wheel companion I've had. He loves to ride in the truck. On the console of course. With the AC on. He is the best natured dog I have ever owned. Loves to play. Hardly ever barks. Good with the grandkids. Smart as all get out. Very easy to train and travels better than most humans.
I have always had dogs as a kid and throughout my adult life. Big ones, little ones. Quiet ones, not so quiet ones. I am proud to say that this little fella is a true companion. A man's dog? Probably not, by most men's standards. But I believe you can find happiness with any breed. And one other thing, this little guy draws the girls out of the woodwork!
Good luck in your finding a new companion. Whatever you choose.
