In a way, this goal is bigger than just getting a dog. I have promised myself (and the future dog) that I won’t be a dog-owner until I am more settled in my life and have a decent place for a dog to run around. Nothing against urban dog-owners, but I don’t want to be one of those people that has to hire somebody else to walk or feed their dog for them. I want my dog to be able to know the pleasure of running free over hill and dale. So basically, this goal is just an offshoot of many other goals, because I can’t be a good dog-owner until I’ve at least moved out of this apartment.
My dream schnoodle (schnauzer x poodle) is pictured above.
