[quote=Anonymous]My kids — ages 7, 9 and 10 — have been actively lobbying for a dog. I’ve long-resisted the added responsibility, so I’ve thus far resisted. But I’m beginning to give it serious thought. My husband and I both work full time, so I worry about a dog being lonely while left alone for long chunks of each day. I also worry about a dog that would require lots of serious exercise each day. We’d need a dog who could manage with several walks around the block most days, with trips to the park or serious runs only on weekends. We own a Capitol Hill townhome with some fenced in outdoor space — not a ton, but better than nothing. We have kids, so we’d need a kid-friendly dog. Is it crazy for us to think about? If not, what breeds? I love beagles, but hear they get lonely and also prefer the country. Maybe a spaniel of some type?[/quote]
