Might be getting a rescue dog to take care of. Not for sure though. Other people are deciding. [View all]

Went back to my ex's the day after Thanksgiving to do final clean up and deliver her mood stabilizer and psych meds which I picked up at the Pharmacy and paid for. It's a lot better for me to pay for it as we are no longer married and don't live together. When she goes downhill, she can nosedive fast and I may not be able to get there in time.

But back to the story. After I did the cleanup, me, her and her daughter were sitting in the Living room visiting and her daughter said there's a 12 year old beagle at the animal shelter near where she lives which was found as a stray and nobody seems to want her as it's up there in age. The daughter said I ought to take care of it (she would get it and bring it to me) as it looks so sad and lonely sitting in its cage and I could provide a good home for it.

My ex told her I don't need another dog as I already have a three legged rescue dog which we've had for a few years already. But I said I'm fine with the idea. My house is small but there's plenty of room for another small dog and it's not like I'm overly busy being on SSDI.

So, I may be getting another dog or I may not. Time will tell.
