you'd have to be prepared for midnight and 3 am outdoor runs to the bathroom, and any other time they need to go. Dogs are a lot of work and they aren't cheap. Think long and hard before you get one.

Getting two dogs might be better though.

Both doggies are adorable. You'll have a nice fenced-in yard for a dog to run and play.

When we bought our first house people said "So next you'll have kids?" and the answer was "No, next we'll have a dog."

I'm glad that the house has a fenced-in yard!

Not today. Probably tomorrow though.
