Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry you are sad and hurting. I think an obedience class sounds good. I took two and met some really nice people. I think people who train their dogs socially can help you thru your loneliness. Also if you think Pixie will be lonely, look around at your neighbors and see if there is anyone who doesn't work who wouldn't mind puppysitting. Do talk to them a lot first to see if you trust them. Watch how they treat their children and pets. That will tell you a lot. Sylvia |
