but - you've thought about already, even what would work better. you have researched what makes a good breeder and have a list. so when you are ready you know exactly where to go. that's totally different. maybe you'll find a slightly older breeder placement that just works for both of you when you move and that will be that!
Totally different than someone who sees a lab puppy, says 'I want a lab" goes online to find the closest available lab puppy and picks them up this weekend
I went to the local shelter yesterday for "fun" to see a dog. Turned out he was adopted already but I filled out an app and inquired about the process. The app takes 5mins. if you want a dog you point, they will see if it is "somewhat" of a fit based on app and if so you meet the dog and could adopt there and then. I was like "yeah I can't imagine taking a dog home then and there". The other option was putting a 24hr hold ot "get the house ready" :P
I've sent out some apps but am really really anxious about getting another dog

You went through a lot with Penny and Rocky. It was heartbreaking with both your pups so I can understand your anxiety. But I also sense your heart will be so full when the right dog does come along. Before we got Chase, it had been 2 1/2 years since our previous dog had died before I felt ready for the love and heartbreak of owning another dog. When you're ready, I know the right eyes will catch your heart.
