As a kid, I got very lucky I was able to own a dog and love him. When I turned 13, he passed away from old age and I desperately wanted to get a new dog. I never could get a new one because my parents would let me. Now I’m an adult and want to get a dog again, but my partner says it isn’t the best financially right now. I spend most of my day at work and he works 4-5 days a week for most of the morning and afternoon and we live in a ~1,000 sq. ft. 2 bedroom apartment. I’ve considered getting an older dog, but I’m terrified of only having a few years with them and worried about medical bills. I’ve also considered a puppy, but don’t think we’ll be home enough for training and proper socializing. And if we end up needing to move, I’d hate having to rehome them in another couple years. Any suggestions?
