Everyone here - I have a question / predicament and looking for constructive opinions / advice. Okay?
So, here I was this morning to meet a friend for a coffee. Everything was fine. Except, he'd brought his dog. She is a beautiful bull-type dog of some sort and small enough to carry. It reignited my long-held desire to have a staffie bull terrier. I SO want one but, given I work up to 16 hour days, it is impractical and would be wholly unfair to get one.
So I'm now thinking that, if I could get a live-in partner here in London, we can overcome this problem and I can get a staffie.
So cutting long story short. I want to ask for potential partners here on the possibility that they uproot their life in the US so that they can mind my dog whilst I'm in work. However, before I do so, I would appreciate a sense as to whether it seems reasonable and realistic?

Then you're back to finding a domestic goddess who can fix a meal to make a table groan, mind all the housekeeping, be a personal assistant and secretary, and mind the dog. And is there a salary involved at this point? All that doesn't leave much time for earning a living.
But seriously, do you have time (already mentioned) and space for a dog, even a small one? Or access to a doggy day care or dogsitter? Then you'll have veterinary care and supplies.
The reason I have cats instead of a dog, though I love them, is because cats are very independent and don't require walks. However, dogs make great pets if you choose a breed wisely.
