Over the past 12 months I have been forced to focus almost exclusively on work and I have literally had to put my personal life on hold. This has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health. As we approach my birthday and Christmas it is plain to me that being alone is something I do not like or want for my life.  While I am still on the lookout for a lady to join me in my travels and to share my life. I have figured out that with my job as crazy as it has been I am not sure how much time I can invest into meeting someone but as I am not getting any younger I know I need to do something. I know I have to find the time for myself and get back my work/life balance.

I have tried the different options including the online dating sites and for whatever reasons I have had no luck making a positive connection. Not that I would consider giving up but after lots of rejection or the famous lets be friends speech one gets kinda tired and sure gets disillusioned. Since I am not having any luck finding a lady friend at the moment I have thought seriously about adding to the family and getting another dog. It has been just over a year since I lost Tara and up till now I knew I could not get another dog as I was travelling way too much and was too focussed on work. I am still not sure if I can make this work but I think my life is slowing down enough for me to handle a new addition to the family.

I have started looking and would like to see if I can find a dog for the spring. This will give me some time to find the right fit and be very sure that I will have the time to take proper care of the new baby. Now I need to figure out what kind of dog I would like, I know I want a small dog just not sure what breed.

A couple of choices I am looking at are the West Highland Terrier

Or a Toy Poodle
