If that hadn't of happened I would still have Milo and he would be with me for the rest of his life.
Oh and the reason I'm getting wound up about the family thing is because my family is very close always have get togethers, always round at each others house parties/meals etc and people take their dogs. I don't understand how being annoyed my dog wouldn't be included in all this when the rest of the families dogs are such as Christmas etc makes me not 'adult' enough to own one?
Well, if they really create such a big deal about it then prove them otherwise. Get the dog of your dreams, train it every day to become as others have said an ambassador of the breed. Wait for your moment to shine at somewhere say a dog show and prove them wrong.
On the other hand, i would encourage you to perhaps think very very carefully. What if you did take on another dog and you managed to somehow get your old dog back? that could create problems. I would recommend also perhaps looking at the american bulldog rescue, they are completely inundated with dogs of all ages from sadly people who take them on and then can no longer care for them/cope with them. There not the easiest of breeds by any meaning.
When it comes to christmas etc, my dogs don't come with me around friends/relatives. Damn if they did, nobody would get any christmas dinner! It was bad enough when they raided the last bbq a fortnight or so ago at my friends.... I had to go and walk miles *as i had a cursed drink for the first time in forever* to the local store to buy a new pack of sausages. Friends found it hilarious, dogs found it amazing they not only got to steal the still frozen sausages AND have a swim in the pool, that they then got treated to a nice walk to the shops and back.
Still............. can now look back and laugh. A lot.
Mine are not ambassdors of any breed by the way.........
