Green Cross Vets have a nationwide scheme which costs about $50 a month and covers pretty much everything.

There prices aren’t too bad and they are local thanks.

I agree with Perce. By all means get another dog. I recommend getting a rescue dog from a shelter.

But be prepared to have to deal with the bad habits it may have developed already…

I inherited a Pomeranian/Jack Russell cross 3 years ago. She grew up indoors and was left on her own from 7 - 7 every day. As a result she didn’t really like other dogs, and is nervous when she hears loud noises. I have slowly trained her to the point where she now doesn’t mind other dogs. Just like people, some dogs can have bad habits, but they can be rectified with training, unlike some people.

As @Captain_Jack said maybe consider a rescue. Even just go down to the local rescue place and at least have a look and see if you connect with any of them.

Have a watch of Old Yeller then. It was made by Disney in the 1950s and was the first movie that made many people cry over the ending including me when l was about 8.

In addition to the excellent advice already given, its also really important to ask yourself “Am I ready?”
