So to start off I’m 18F, and I know what your probably thinking already but hear me out. At the moment I’m working 4 days a week during December (definitely) to feb (not a hundred percent sure yet) I will be working 5 days a week, when I hit March I’ll be back to working 4 days a week. At the moment I’m getting paid $21 an hour and work 9 hours during the week and 8.5 if I work weekend days. I get paid monthly which I like because I’m able to budget for the month. I still live with my parents but pay $400 board a month which helps pay for food etc. we own a dog already she is about 5 years old and I love her, however a lot of the time when I go for a walk or more specifically jog, I can’t take her as she’s already been for two long walks and a jog will be over doing it for her which is part of the reason I’m wanting to adopt my own dog.
We own some cats, I personally look after one which we had to adopt from our neglectful neighbours who left her and moved out. I also own 4 goldfish which are also my own so I’m not inexperienced with responsibility. I know what I’m looking for in a dog, I want a medium sized dog who gets along with cats, other dogs and has enough energy to go for jogs and walks.
Before I adopt I want to make sure the dog will get along with our dog. I also specifically want a female and a rescue, I don’t mind breed too much but ofc when looking I will definitely take that into account. My parents are open to me getting a dog but there is a lot of doubt on whether I will have enough time to look after it. Money isn’t a problem for me at the moment. My parents as I said are just worried I might lack the time to look after it. And my mum has bought up that she wants to be able to leave my dog home (if I get one ofc) and take out dog that we have already on a walk during the day without having any hassle and having my dog get jealous.
She doesn’t want to be walking two dogs which I totally understand. So basically I want to know if you think I’m ready to own my own dog, whether I should wait. Feel free to ask questions I’ll do my best to reply.
