Unfortunately, we believe our work & travel schedule is detrimental to having a pooch. Work = we’re both gone about 12hrs per day Mon-Thrs. Travel = at least one 3 day weekend away per month. And about 4 vacations away per year. And retirement isn’t on the horizon. For now, we’ll stick with our kitty.
