I really want to get a pet and have decided on a dog. I am currently single, work full time but come home for lunch every day. I have never cared for a dog before and wanted to ask if it is a good idea getting one? My friends have dogs and I love walking them and would like the company. I have a small enclosed garden as well.
I am of the mindset that a dog is a commitment and there will be good times and bad. I do not want to have a dog companion and not be able to give them the life they need if that makes sense. Is there anything I need to be aware of and are dogs suitable for someone who works full time (9 - 5) but does come home every day for an hour between 1pm and 2pm.
