After my children made me an empty nester, I realized just how quiet the house was without them. I didn’t like it. And the more I thought about it, the clearer the answer became: I needed a dog. There was an animal shelter near my office, so I went on my lunch break. One dog in particular caught my eye. She wasn’t barking like the others.
