How did you change your life to have one?
We can't afford for me to stop working completely. I can't take a dog to work. I could potentially reduce my working days but it would still likely be 3 long days where I'm out of the house 8am-6/7pm, and even if a dog walker visited at lunchtime it feels too long to leave a dog alone.
All the "Borrow my doggy" users in my area are looking for weekday daytime care, or full weeks of holiday care, when I'm at work.
I'm feeling a bit fragile (just had a miscarriage) and for some reason my mind has latched on to the sadness of not being able to have a dog until retirement in 35-odd years time (just to clarify, this isn't a new sadness, as I've wanted a dog since childhood, but it's intensified at the moment).
Have I missed an obvious solution?
