I still love dogs, but wouldn't get one here because my future is too unstable
This is something that almost every expat that I know needs to understand. Sure you might THINK that you are stable but as a non-citizen you and I and all of them are only one arbitrary government decision away from no longer being welcome here. Be nice to other people's animals in the meantime I guess.
I love the story about your dogs back home. That could be a short film. Tragic and humorous at the same time!
