I'm going to adopt!

And what are the "pros"? (besides a satisfied "I want")

Is Della showing the stress of being a single pet?
Does he face the needle if you don't take him? Are you the last person who finds him adorable?

Pros: Della and I will both get more exercise.
She has shown the need for more stimuli, and the dog park here is unfortunately lacking in small dog playmates.
She needs the socialization, I need the fresh air. Its boring to sit at the dog park and watch the big dogs play while Della looks at me wanting to know where her playmates are. She doesn't like to be with the big dogs, so that is not an option. I've tried finding playmates for her, setting up dates, ect ect. It just doesn't mesh up.
Another family was set to adopt him, they came back from holiday getting a divorce. Yes, there may yet be another family, but will be as good as Della and I? Will I be good as them? I strive to be the best.
He's in foster care, so true he doesn't face death, but foster care isn't a home.
