The Mental Load of “Are We Getting Another Dog?”

Send us Fan MailNot quite two months after losing Winston, we are getting the question everyone seems to ask way too soon: are we getting another dog?In this episode, we do a lightning round on the real question behind the dog question. Is this about Ruth being lonely? About us missing Winston? About feeling guilty because there are dogs that need homes? Or is it about whether our family actually has the time, bandwidth, and mental capacity to bring another dog into the mix right now?We talk about what it means to grieve a pet while also managing the logistics of work, kids, training, schedules, and one very sad surviving dog. We are not making a decision in this episode. But we are unpacking why decisions like this are never as simple as they sound from the outside.Check us out on Instagram
