I don't think her friends ( who owned the dog know her well) I personally wouldn't say now was the right them, especially with her reasonings of like a baby especially if the tale is true that she has had recent losses.
She needs time to deal with those loses, not move on to the next quick fix because babies arent coming as fast as she hoped. She's only 34, she's still got a few years to make more babies when the right partner comes along. Right Now her focus should be on herself and getting herself well and her son. That's all!
In my opinion everyone in her real life just seems to stick plasters over the massive cracks in her mental health rather than dealing with it properly She needs help, she needs support, she does not need another responsibility.
