That's awesome. What kind of dog are you going to get? Are you, and will you be, around a lot or do you expect to be away at work or something like that? I ask because dogs really like company and are pack animals by nature. Not to get personal, but do you have a partner that can be around if you aren't? When we got Max, my wife and I both worked and were away a fair amount so we got Sophia for company and then....well, pups, but that's another story. LOL. Dogs are pretty awesome and fun to be around, but can limit you somewhat for vacations and so forth. I would go on the youngish side of the age you're looking at. Puppies chew, but outgrow it pretty quickly. Funny story I posted elsewhere, but don't "think"??? I posted it here. I came home to the below picture
