oh my gosh... you're all making it SO DIFFICULT for me I know when my old Pug Winston dies, that I will get another dog. For me, it's a given to share my home again... and Magnus will need company when I'm at work.

That being said, I have been interested in possibly getting a bigger dog that I can walk with...

I have been looking at several breeds on Petfinder... I don't need a purebred so a mix is fine too. I love the look of masked dogs, so the Boxers appeal to me... but I see all those muscles and get a little nervous about whether I can handle the training etc... same with Rotts... man, what gorgeous dogs... but SO strong...

and I LOVE that Irish Terrier!!! Have also considered Bearded Collies... ah heck, who am I kidding... I'm considering most all of them... I know I'll rescue... just a matter of who and what breed or mix of breeds... sigh...

anyway, right now, thanks to you all, I want one of everything please.
