Thanks, DarkStar, you bring up some good points. I do work from home part of the time, so the dog would not be alone all 7 days. My FBF is also adopting one or two new dogs and she works close by (we work for the same place, but different offices) and lives in my neighborhood, so she will be able to check on my dog mid-day if I need her to. I will also be able to take my dog to work with me part of the time. So I think that part will be okay -- it really is an energy issue more than an alone issue.
But I am still considering all the options. I have been pet sitting for FBF and her dog has stayed overnight with me, so I do know at least a little about what is required.
