So you like dogs and want to add one, should you?  Let me tell you about two very similar conversations I had this week about two families wanting to add a plus one.  The results are not the same, but the conversations are of the same flavor.   If anything, I hope you learn a little bit about what to consider when adding a dog into the home.  When is it the right time? Who should you add? We are trying to build a happy home and adopting a dog, even a puppy, isn't always the answer.
