We are probably lucky we didn't get called on. Like you said, it was just more accepted back then. I can't dwell on it too much though, it won't change anything. If you ask my wife we will probably never get another dog. If you ask me, I could see us maybe getting one a long time from now after most of our traveling is finished. Who knows though. I think it's more about the having to go through the loss again than the minor inconvenience of not being able to pick up and go when we want.

It was a different time back then. My mom said her father kept a dog outside too. Our original plan was to wait to get another dog until we were done traveling too but I think things have shifted a bit for us. It might be a while before we can travel like we were and we don't want to miss out on having a dog for that many years.
I hear you. I think ultimately we still need some more time. It's only been about six months for us and the pain is really raw. If we had kids it might be different knowing a new one might help them heal. I see a lot of people do that.
