I’m 21 and a firefighter/paramedic so I work 24 hour shifts. I basically have my girlfriend sleepover @ my place all the time, when I’m home, but she stays at her parents’ when I’m not. She can take the dog out for walks and stay with her 1-2 hours when I’m working, but she won’t stay the night. This is how it would work for like 10-12 months, until I buy my own place and move in with my girlfriend for good. The question is: Is it wise for me to get a dog right now? I’ve really wanted one since I was a kid and now I feel I’m fully prepared mentally and financially. Can I somehow train it to not have separation anxiety? Please be brutally honest and thank you.
