Should I get my wife a dog?
Why do you want to get her a dog?
I know she really loves dogs.
Getting a dog seems like a good idea. Having pets can be really fun. Just make sure you both have time to care for it.
I want to get her a nice dog to cheer her up.
That is a thoughtful gift to give someone. Plan a trip to your local animal shelter and take your wife along to pick out a dog that you like. I hope you enjoy your new dog!
