play it smart?

yeah - another guest performer cancelled for Saturday.  NICE.

but more to my point.

yes - I want another dog(s) desperately actually -   BUT we were going to wait until Mason passes. 

the question is -

puppy or adult or both?

breeder or rescue? or both?

if I get an adult - what age should I look for?

I need a dog that is relaxed around people - happy to greet them or at the very least tolerate them.   happy and outgoing would be a plus.  Antagonistic or protective - definite no's. 

Most definitely I have to stay off Kijiji - or I may commit murder or something.

Great Pyrenees - OF COURSE (like there is any other dog breed out there I could even possibly consider !)
