Sorry about your dog's passing.
I can see your husband's point, which corresponds to mine with the passing of my cat. I guess you could get another dog if, ahead of time, you could guarantee a family member or a friend to take the dog, when and if you can't care for it.
In my case, anyone I know who lives around has a dog and no one wants a cat. In a dog's case, I would probably get luckier.

JACE Thanks for commenting on my blog. You’re right, we’re quite lost, just the two of us without a four-legged companion. I’m sure we’ll find the right one for us soon.
What about making provisions for someone taking the dog should something happen to both of you? It seems sad to not share the love you obviously have for your pet.
I vaguely remember Hopalong but really remember Bonanza, Rifleman and Gunsmoke more. My parents were huge western fans they used to read Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton and Larry McMurty.
That was nicely done, Sue. I've done a couple of mazes. The last one I did in 2019 caused me to have a panic attack. Thank goodness my granddaughter was old enough to get me help.
Prompt: Taking risks
What is better, staying safe or taking a risk? Did you ever have to make such a choice and would you do it again?
Life is all about risk. I was very risk averse until I was in my mid twenties. It was about that time we took the biggest risk in my life by taking our three years old daughter and leaving everything behind. We came to Australia, a place where we knew no one or even anything about the place. We risked everything to find a better life.
On a much smaller scale, I’ve risked abseiling when everything in my body was screaming at me not to walk backwards off that cliff! I’ve scuba dived in shark infested waters, been less than a few feet from a jumping crocodile and probably the most scary thing of all was to join a writers group at aged 75 and read out loud something I’d written.
