Dammit, every time I tell myself that it's a bad idea to get a dog, I either see one outside or I find this thread again. You people are torturing me!
Advice sought:

1,000 sf apartment (with lots of other dog owners nearby, mind you) downtown,
work being 15 minutes away by car,
a college campus and park space in walking distance,
some extra cash coming in soon,
would need to go back to work on some nights

It would probably be housebroken already if I get one old enough from the animal rescue, but not necessarily -- though maybe it should be necessary. *sigh* So confused.…
