It feels a bit like choosing to have a second child. Except of course we'll keep reminding ourselves that this is not a child but a dog... and how difficult that is when they are a tiny ball of fluff.
There are other obvious differences between choosing to have a child and a puppy but no need to state the obvious.
Speaking of which I was once given the Basil Fawlty award for stating the bleeding obvious when I worked for a big college that will remain nameless. Not one of my finer moments ....
