Yes, please bring both your husband and your dog! And if they both want to look for work when they come it will be just fine (just kidding about the pooch, no therapy or service dogs in Doha.) Sounds like you are very much like my husband and myself, socially active but NOT into the bar scene. Don't worry, there's plenty here to do unless you are really into the great outdoors. To bring in your dog go onto www.dohavets.com. They are pet relocators. There are husbands who have found nice jobs here and then there are spouses who have decided just to kiick back for a while. Take some time to decide. Definitely keep in touch with the expat sites for social events. Eventually you will also meet locals (who don't tend to advertize their gatherings!) And welcome.
