I can't have dogs any more, because there is no one at home most of the day, and I don't think it's fair to have an animal if you aren't at home to be with them, walk them and play with them.
For years, we adopted rescued animals, dogs, cats and ferrets, but it was when my son was at home, and I was at home most of the time. I still love animals, and if I was at home more, I would have a golden retriever.
