I was wondering about how things went. Glad to read that the only development is she wants a dog.
A dog is a lifelong commitment and everything you say is correct.
Open up a conversation with her about it, no agenda (your concerns)other than finding out what having a dog means to her. Information seeking.
Then take time to think about it and ask more if you need to.
I posted before I saw this labug. It's funny, I learned another good lesson about assumptions and expectations, as what I had assumed/expected from W upon her return was nothing like what I actually got!
