Getting lonely in my studio lately, and was thinking of getting a dog. Before suggesting roommates/girls, I don't need another human being, just a dog that doesn't talk back. Taking into considerations our busy work schedules and extra caring expenses, do you think this is a good idea? Do any of you have pets?

Horrible idea. You won't be able to give it nearly enough attention.

Getting a dog is literally
Getting a dog is literally paying to have your place ruined/made to smell like dog. Plus Id mind keeping a dog cooped up in an apartment all day.
From another stance, I also hate the people in my building who have dogs. They never shut up and one bit me once. I hate dogs and they have given me enemies.

Get a cat.
Cats are independant, they won't shit all over the place and they can help you with your affection deficit.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

I hate cats, but that is the only animal I would consider getting if I was living alone or with other people who work. I think it would be abjectly cruel to have a dog in a house for more than say 6 hours at a time, and you are gonna be at least 8 every day. I love my dog (at my parents house) and I always go home fast after golf so I don't leave her alone too long. Golf takes at most 4 hours. So yeah, no dog for me living alone.
Reality hits you hard, bro...
Agree with MMBinNC. Abdel is
Agree with MMBinNC. Abdel is right, the only decent option here is a cat, so if you don't like cats you're fucked. Even a small dog requires attention. My friend has an Italian Greyhound that literally sleeps probably 20 hours per day and still needs to go out at least 2-3 times. Plus, when she was a puppy she needed a lot more attention than she does now

Unfortunately, dogs require lots of attention. Small or large. No way would it be fair to the dog to keep it cooped up in an apartment.

I was also more interested in that pussy instead of the one poking her.

I've got a golden retriever
I've got a golden retriever that I love, but it takes a lot of time and money to keep him happy and healthy.... especially in the city. If you don't have the time and money (easily 5k+ a year with doggy day care and walkers) to do that, consider a cat. I, however, personally think cats suck.

Just thought I'd add to the consensus. The only acceptable animal here is a cat. You will fuck your dog up by barely being home. Horrible idea.

I love my dogs, but they are SO MUCH WORK. I can't imagine living in the city with a dog or dogs if you had to work full time. I have to take mine out in the morning, in the afternoon, and before bed for about a half hour each session.
Kenneling a big dog can be a pain in the ass, too. And you have to do it every time you want to go out of town.

Seems like you all agree that getting a dog is not worth it right now. Too bad I can't stand cats.

Why don't you take a seat.
