Thinking about adopting this dog. Read txt below

I lost my dog 2 months ago to cancer. He was my soul dog, literally saved me from an abusive relationship.

His diagnosis was sudden, and things went downhill pretty quick after that, he was gone in less than 4 months.

My mental health was good before his diagnosis, but I have been in a deep depression since March. Even more so since his passing.

I know the mental health stuff is related to losing my best friend. I did the grieving process and I finally feel like I’m ready.

Only thing that stops me from taking the leap is I feel judgement from my family and friends for “rushing.”

My partner would not be mad if I brought a dog home, but he would “prefer” if I delay it until we get a house (currently renting small apartment)

I feel like the timing doesn’t make sense to everyone but I’m starting to feel like my mental health might be on the line. I need advice and reassurance
