Yes, that's exactly it. After I lost Tango 7 years ago, I was devastated and truly inconsolable for days. I managed to last a whole four weeks before adopting another dog (Maggie) who was a puppy at the time. I don't want to go through that ever again!

Besides, two big dogs is already crazy. Could three really be that much worse?
