Thread Topic: Should I get a dog?

Okay, so I had one, from last April to Halloween, the night that she went missing.
I loved her. She was perfect. Super lazy and laid back, loved to cuddle, and was like... The brightest thing in my life while I was going through a super rough break up, and basically the worst part of my life. I literally had to tell myself, no, you can't kill yourself, who would take care of Marisol?
But she's gone now, and I've really, really been thinking hard about getting another dog. An inside one. I'd clean my room up and let it sleep with me and love it, and I could even get it certified as a companion dog (don't ask why, sorry, not comfortable sharing that here c:) and taken them to school with me/and possibly work, depending on where I end up. (I probably wont do this, but MIGHT. What do you guys think?)
But, I have a hella busy schedule. I'm in high school and super involved in drama club and thespian society, as well as occasionally attending chess club/watching certain cute boys play tennis. My mom told me to think with my head and not my heart, and to consider how much time I would have for a dog right now. I did.
And I still want one.
So... Should I? I want to rescue one. The animal shelter has this gorgeous Shepard mix right now, I'll post the picture if I can.
Of course, there are a couple others I've been watching.. -

Yes. Losing a pet is serious business. There are children like seven or eight who contemplate suicide after their pet dies. Having something to help you feel better or make you move forward is great! A new dog and/or pet is a good way to start your healing process :D

As long as there are available funds for veterinary care (in case of emergency and for routine check-ups), I think a dog would be entirely beneficial for you.
