To both you and smoorman1024, I'd give the advice nobody gave me. Get a small dog or at the very least get a dog that can be active when you want it to be but the rest of the time, pretty chill. I love my dogs but they need constant attention and exercise. This was great until our lives got busy and now I find myself struggling to have time to take them to the park or on a run.

It's much easier to get someone to watch a small dog while you go out of town and a good kennel is expensive. You're both right to wait until you have enough time to dedicate. If we ever get another dog in the future, it will be a small, scruffy rescue with a good temperament and a love for naps in our lap and the occasional walk.
