I don't think you will have the time for this.
Honestly if i had a puppy and you offer me money to buy it. i would say no because of your life style at the moment. I would suggest getting a cat.
It was easy for my family to have the puppy because there was always someone to takecare of him. Dogs are just dogs they are just like kids. gotta watch them. |
Lots of people who have this type of 'lifestyle' aka work, own dogs. Myself included. I have two and they keep each other company while I'm at work. Mind you, my job is quite flexible so I don't work long days and often get to work from home. But I think if she puts research into it and devotes that month to training, she AND the puppy can be very happy.
It's not really fair to say that because you work or something you shouldn't have a dog. Sure if you work 12 hour days and have zero time for them then I might agree. But how else do you PAY for their needs? I'm not independently wealthy.. I have to work, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
