Thinking about getting a dog, posting about it so someone can tell me if it's a terrible idea.
Here's the deal: I live alone, and have a work schedule that often requires long hours. This has always been why I never got one in the past, but there are doggie daycare places on my way to work which are affordable.
I'd get a shelter dog (can't possibly take enough time off work to deal with a puppy), and take two weeks to work from home while it acclimated, but then most days it'd be dropped off at the daycare place on my way to work and picked up on the way home.
Can this work? Is this going to be cruel to send a dog away often 5 days a week?
