We are working from home now but eventually will be out of the house for about 8 hours. My office is 10 minutes away and could come home at lunch for a pee break.

We love pets and definitely see them as part of the family. We were thinking a dog maybe 3-4 years old.

I know DCUM will be brutally honest so let me have it. Thanks![/quote]

The rescues around here are absurd with their requirements.  Drive a couple of hours into rural VA and pick up a dog from a shelter.  They know that the rest of the world isn't full of dog walkers and homemade dog food for everyone's precious furbabies.  People do the best they can for their pets.[/quote]

Why do you even get a dog if you can spend so little time with it? Serious question. They’re not here just to entertain us. [/quote]NP here. Maybe because they want to give it a home and a decent life rather than let it be killed at a shelter? Besides, [b]not everyone who owns a dog wants to be hugging and snuggling up an animal 24/7.[/b]

Maybe pet ownership is not right for you. [/quote]
Don’t be a lunatic. You sound like one of those types that would rather have a pet die than go to your vision of a perfect family. [/quote]
