If you miss having a dog (or dogs), and you vacillate over having an SO, it appears obvious to me having a dog would, at this point, be more crucial to your pursuit of contentment.
Also, having canine family puts a whole new spin on the prospective SOs. For me, I am certain that any man I might ever possibly consider spending any significant time with would welcome my family, that being my dogs, cat, horses, and what/whomever it may include at that specific time.
I won't part with any of them for anyone. Made that mistake, once.
If having animal companionship in your life is imperative for you in the long run, regardless of human companionship, then it is worth whatever modifications you might have to make. That companionship will be with you for its/your life. The nice apartment that won't allow pets, or living in the city or whatever prevents having that companionship now is a thing. Is it more desirable than someone (as in a dog) you can share life with in contentment?
My disclaimer is simply that these are my thoughts and feelings, not a challenge, no reply necessary, just plain wanted to share, my experience.
