animals

For some time I’ve had a strong desire to get a dog, but my wife is in opposition to the matter. To be more specific she is not against a dog per se but her condition is that it is one of those small poodle-type dogs. I have no interest in those however and want a German shepherd or husky that has more of a physical presence.

Part of the issue is also that we live in the city and there isn’t a tremendous amount of space for a large dog so perhaps it’d get bored in the house. We also travel a lot so it might be home alone an intolerable amount for its emotional health.

I’ve never actually owned a dog and growing up my family always kept cats and birds. I was always besotted with those but from my understanding the love of a dog included as part of a family is on a completely different level. It’d also be nice to have kids growing up with a dog as a friend in their formative years.

The fact you travel a lot is a huge reason not to get a dog yet. 

But don’t rule it out completely
