[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids (4, 2, infant) and two rescue dogs, both with chronic but manageable conditions (special food for one, daily medication and monthly shot for the other). My husband and I also work full time. We have pet insurance (nationwide) for both dogs, which covers both wellness and illness care. I would very much recommend. Our dogs are very manageable for us. I am a dog person and love dogs. My kids are not super into our dogs, but they are good with them - and our dogs are good with our kids. We have a fenced in yard and I walk our dogs for 30-45 minutes a day (they are both 20 pounds and not super high energy). If you get a dog definitely expect to do the bulk of the work, look into fencing your yard and pet insurance, and get a dog that works well for your lifestyle (I would not get a border collie or vizsla unless I could commit time to exercising the dog properly).
