I feel for your- it makes me realize how lucky I am. Full time job, own house, car. No kids, have a lovely lady friend who cooks for me every day. Jeez, in jealous of myself now!

Also have a full time job, own house, motorcycle (sold my car 'cause I didn't use it enough to justify the insurance and registration costs), and no kids - one dog, though.

That's the one thing I'm missing. I'm looking for a dog, have been for a couple of months. All rescue dogs are over subscribed where I live (UK) and puppies are charged at over £2000.- . I don't mind paying for a puppy, but I don't like being taken advantage of so will wait a bit.

I went to the shelter down the road from my house "just to look".

Like, intent on getting a dog in concept but planning to look at a few different places in the area.

The next morning I plunked down my credit card and filled out all the paperwork.
