How much is that doggie in the window?.....

So I have been contemplating getting a dog for a while now but was never quite ready to make the commitment. I had a dog growing up for about 10 years and I know how much attention they require and how much attention I would want to give one and I was not sure that I wanted to give up the freedom I have as a single unattached woman..... I mean, having a dog is similar to having a child. I could not go out after work but would have to come home and walk to dog. I would have to find kennels when I went out of town..... But this is a cute dog! She is a black lab/border collie mix. She sorta looks like this one here (who is not her.)

I don't know about the border collie part. They are longer haired than I would like. I am sometimes maybe allergic to dogs and I think that it would be better to have a shorter hair dog.

Well, i will think on it. I am going to call my aunt who had 2 border collies and pump her for information.....
