Sloopy is our Boston Terrier. Almost five years ago, we lost our "JoBu" and decided time had come to start thinking about our fulltime future. Narrowed down our breeds to a Boston Terrier and a Boxer with the Beastie winning because of their size. Didn't want shedding, barking, and wanted a dog that would be a good "apartment dog".
With the wedding, we offered to keep Tucker, our daughter and son in law's Puggle. He's 8 months old, all boy, and a lovable little guy. But we realized early we would need to really ramp up his exercise in order for him to be balanced. We've enjoyed having "the boy", but he's been a handful. Finally starting to get him into a regimine, but it's been a challenge.
So, if you're thinking about full timing, think about your pet. Not fair to the dog to get a breed that won't easily adapt to the lifestyle. But "our house" wouldn't be "a home" without a dog.
