10. I can empathize - when we lost our previous companion it was hard to think about another.

I told myself how important it was to "wait until we're ready" and defined that in a lot of ways that related to work and time to acclimate a new pet, etc., but it was more related to me not being over the grieving process and not ready to make another emotional investment at that level.

Then one day it was 'right'. Nothing at all to do with the home situation, work, available time, etcetera. I just looked at the Spousal Unit and said "Do you want to visit the shelter today?"

And we came home with the Feline Overlord-to-be, and all was Right.

It will happen, when you're ready.

appreciatively,
Bright
