That's my Moo. She's been gone 2 years now and I still miss her to the depths of my soul. She was a rescue and I thanked God every day for her.
When looking for a new pet make sure you do your research on breeds to see if they fit your lifestyle. For example, you don't want a hyper Border Collie that needs almost constant stimulation if you're really laid back. You also don't want a bulldog (known to be lazy) if you and your family are always on the go.
Once you figure out what breeds work for you, go to the shelter and see which animals you are drawn to. Then spend some time with them to see if they're a good fit.
Pets are so wonderful: they give you unconditional love. They calm you down in times of stress...just from petting them! And they teach children responsibility. Consider an adult dog or cat. You'll already know their final size/weight and their temperament.
Enjoy your day and I wish you great luck in finding a new member of your family!
