[quote=Anonymous]As someone with 2 kids and 2 dogs (which both will be gone by the time the kids start college), I vote a resounding no on getting a dog. It's a ton of work for 12-15 years. Unless you are the type who doesn't plan to go anywhere after the kids leave (even for day trips) then maybe consider it IF you are lonely, but it's like having another kid. The dog needs someone to feed it, love it, take it to the vet, walk it, and generally be around every day (have to plan for vacations, day trips, etc). You really can't leave a dog at home longer than 8 hours (and sometimes even that is too long, depending on the breed and temperament). [/quote]
