Thanks for your reply. The problem is that I am hopefully getting a puppy from a breeder who is close to the NY area where it would be safer to have a puppy shipped to me. It's a puppy from my dream breeder, so I wanted to take advantage of being closer to that area. If I were to wait until I'm settled and don't work longer hours, it will be at least 6 years before I can have my baby with me again and get another one. This year, I'll have shorter hours and I will have a month off in August and in December. Unfortunately, with the career I chose, I'll have to be in NY for a year and then wherever I hopefully get a residency spot.
And then I'll be in that area for 3 years and then I want to do a fellowship for another 3 years.
Heheh, it's a long long time, but worth it.
