puppy question

Once upon a time he had a little puppy. It was one of those small cute white furry types. He loved the puppy.
That was during the phase when he was in the process of getting a divorce.
His wife came back to the house to collect some things and when she reversed the car, she knocked down the puppy. Little puppy did not survive.
He buried his little friend at the garden of his huge house.
Several years passed.
He is now legally divorced ( but not before going thru a lot of hassle with the lawyers and ex).
His huge house is sold. His debts are paid. He made a lump sum payment to the ex so that she would never bother him again.
He lived for a few years in his brother's house.
Then things began to look upwards for him.
He became financially stronger.
He bought a new house. It was alot smaller than his old one but it was comfortble and homely with a beautiful garden.
Now he thinks of getting a new puppy.
Personally I think that with his lifestyle, he should not.
He travels often and the puppy would be left behind just as his African Grey parrot.
It also is not good for the bird but he/she is used to it.
I don't know how to tell him about not getting the puppy.
I know it will make him happy but would it be fair to the puppy?

dear june..i don't think that the guy should get another puppy.
with all of the traveling he does. i just don't think that it would be fair.
a dog's heart so longs for his master and any substitutes wouldn't do.
the poor little doggie would feel loneliness and YOU know what that feels like, eh?
when we were away for almost four weeks, we had my niece, rachel coming over everyday to feed the cat.
in the whole time she never saw that creature once.
the food was always gone and the litter box needed attention but not a hair of that cat did she see!
when we got home that fat cat wouldn't give bernie the time of day.
in fact ,he stayed under the china cabinet and blasted bernie for a whole hour....he chewed him right out!!
so i guess animals like their masters around!!...love terry
