What about the dog

Hi. As my husband and I consider divorce, I begin to wonder whether either of us can take care of the dog we have jointly owned for 5+ years. We both agree that who ever can give the dog a better life gets the dog. However, it pains me to think that we will have to give up the dog because we both work long hours. I guess I don't want my dog to be impacted and want her to have the same life she has had with two caretakers who work different hours. Has anyone had experience with this? I really don't know how either of us can afford daycare or the pain of knowing our dog is home alone for 10 hours a day. Thanks

I kept one of our dogs and my wife kept the other. Mine stays home alone all day by herself. She's happy though. She runs around like crazy when I get home. You can do it, you just have to think about your dog and what he/she needs. They can't water and feed themselves.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
