Did get a dog, almost a year ago, and I say this now, he’s the love of my life! French Bulldog (had one when I was married for 9 years, took care of him, paid all his bills, fed him breakfast lunch and dinner most nights while my STBX was out at the bar, came home one day after work to let him out and he was gone, haven’t seen him since) named Mooki and I look forward every single day to coming home to him. Was super lonely after wife left, am no longer lonely. Was the best decision of my life!

Not a new dog, but keeping my German Shepherd in the divorce has been godsend for me.

In my case, I told my now exwife I wanted to divorce her due to her disasters from pills. But we couldn't due to financial problems. So I just moved into the guest room.

She always wanted a dog, but me and the kids (two daughters) are cat-people. So a month later, she went out and got a little foo-foo dog. I told her a few things, setting up boundaries.

"I want absolutely nothing to do with that dog. I will not feed it, take it for walks, clean up after it, whatever. I will pretend it doesn't exist."

So a few days later the puppy was sleeping all day long and she was gloating about how cute the puppy was. Until it was 2am and the puppy was wide awake. She came into my bedroom with the dog, telling me that I needed to "Deal with the dog." Because she had a migraine and needed sleep.

Well, I offered her a few, shall we say "colorful" suggestions on what she could do with the dog. She didn't like any of those suggestions. So I closed my bedroom door and locked it.

And then the dog learned a new trick! It would overturn the kitchen garbage can and shred everything and make a big mess. I learned a new trick too. I saw it one morning at 6:30am and she told me I needed to clean it up. I told her, "Sorry, I need to go to work." And I left the house.

They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing

I got a cat. Far easier to manage.

I like dogs but they’re too much work

If you can handle the responsibility, go for it! Those buggers are fantastic emotional support.
