I want a dog but I’m worried it’s not a good time for me to have one.

@btp The important question is will there be better time any time soon?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@btp what are the reasons not to get one?

[btp@fosstodon.org]

@Gina I'm in a top-floor apartment and I've been taking on some extra responsibilities throughout the week in my free time. I'm worried about not having enough time to commit to training and socialization etc.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@btp are rugs and scaling back on responsibilities an option? I can say from experience that pets makes life so much better, it's worth the hassle.

[btp@fosstodon.org]

@Gina I agree. I miss my previous dog a lot.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@btp more importantly, what type of dog would you get? 🔥

[btp@fosstodon.org]

@Gina lolol probably whatever is at the shelter.
