And that's a good point, I thought that way when I had to put my 12 year old Redbone coon hound down with a bad hip and kidney problems, I hunted with him a lot of nights. I said I didn't want another dog to get attached to, but then I found Chester a big lanky Black & Tan Coon hound at the SPCA and I got him. He is a lazy house dog that is my best friend, and a complete playmate for the grandkids, no hunting for him (he's scared of cats) he likes to be with me all the time, and is more happier to see me when I come home then the SWMBO!

Weather you're going to get/have another dog is a decision that none of us make. Down in your heart of hearts, you know that you do not choose to get the dog. The dog chooses to get you.
