thanks underthecs. and everyone, i still miss the dog. but a puppy is too much responsibility right now. so i have decide that if i do get a dog, it will be an older dog from the animal shelter. in my area they charge about 90 to adopt a dog. my boyfriend and i just started really good jobs this summer, so i know that we will be able to afford the dog in a while. we are also looking at renting a house and moving out of this small apartment. i would try to find a place with a backyard where the dog wouldn't have to be on a lease all the time, someplace fenced in. the only thing that might not work is that one of my cats really freaked out about the puppy. she hid under the bed for a couple of days and rarely came out. i had to put food and water under there for her. she is about a year old. is that too old to adjust to an older, calmer dog than a puppy? how long does it take?
