I’ve wanted a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a lab and loved him like part of the family. I was defeated when he died and we had 13 wonderful years with him. Now I’ve got my own house a decent 3 bed with a good garden etc. I really would like to have another dog. My DH is relatively suppprtive of the idea but is worried about the dog being on his own on the day. I do agree with him and worried about this myself. We have to leave the house at 7am in the morning and get back about 5pm. I would have a dog walker to take him out in the day. I am a teacher so have lots of holidays and we are an active couple. Always out and about and I think a dog would really suit our lifestyle. It’s just in the day when we’re at work. Every two weeks DH works nights so is at home in the day but I still worry that it’s not fair on the dog to be left. Surely other people have dogs and work? AIBU is it not fair to have one? For what it’s worth we are looking at a boarder terrier.
