We're thinking of getting a dog, probably fostering a dog first to make sure we're ready. A SMALL dog.
Alternately, we're thinking of getting two cats.
(Yes, the moment — the very instant — our lives reach an equilibrium, we think about tilting the balance again.)

Qué es más loco?

Our neighbor, John (the drummer), just adopted a pug and we ran into them on a walk last night. Lucy, the pug, was ADORABLE!! (and you know how I generally feel about dogs) Rosie, of course, stayed 20 feet away, but Dash and I patted the serene little doggy head. Dash loved it. If I ever let a dog in our house, it would be a pug.
Pugs are CUTE! Todd finds them a little revolting, though. Or was that bulldogs? He's completely refused to consider one of them.
Here are some FUN facts!

Just buy a goddamn helper monkey. They stink less and can be taught to harrass telemarketers.
So you're voting for cats? Yes, pit bulls and rottweilers are right out of consideration.
Pugs are cute. A couple of our neighbors have them, & they seem to all be named Winston. If I were you, I'd get a dog with hair instead of fur, because they don't shed. :)
Hair instead of fur? What? I don't think I understand this concept.
Split the difference and get a cat AND a dog. Imagine the hilarious hijinks! It'd be like a Tom and Jerry cartoon, only with more blunt force trauma and crimescene tape.
Shorthaired dogs like pugs and dachshunds don't shed everywhere in the summer. Consequently, no nasty gobby hairballs to step in in your bare feet. Unlike our feline friends.
Well, I'm not sure, but since I've had a dog for about a year now I'm something of an expert. I think it's hair if it keeps growing (like Lance) & fur if it's all the same length & that's it (like Baily). Really, all I know is we vaccuum up a lot more Baily hair than Lance hair...
If you're dead set on ruining your life, you might as well go with a dog. Cats aren't even smart enough to eat your face when you die. They just sit in the window looking forlorn and waving the flies away and wondering why nobody has cleaned their damned litterbox out. A dog will give you tons of unconditional stupid love and when it goes to dog heaven you get to teach the kids an important lesson in thanatology.
And besides, I'm allergic to cats.
Yeah, the fact that you and the fam are allergic to cats is the main reason I'm agreeing with Todd about dogs.
We have both. Our first dog as a couple was like our baby. We had to put her down when Bugga was 3 months old, at age 4 years because she had lymph cancer. It broke our hearts. Our current dog was our bandaid puppy. She has clearly bonded with my husband and is the pyscho alpha bi*ch I hope to one day be. I adore our cat. Positively love him more than any other cat I've ever had. I vote for both. :-)
