We have been considering getting a rescue dog for a long time. Ideally a young adult dog that’s already toilet trained. As a family we have lots of love and time to put into a dog in the day.
My issue is sleep. I need plenty or I feel awful. I’m menopausal and tired and honestly if I’m not in bed for 9 hours a night feel shocking as I am awake a lot in the night. Im generally in bed 10-7 or 11-8 depending on the day of the week.
It occurred to me last night that this probably means we can’t get a dog? I assume most can’t manage this long overnight and it wouldn’t be fair to them. My priority if absolutely to the dog and I’ve been overthinking this for months now.
