Small dogs, probably pugs, specifically...a question

PS
and yes I AM KIDDING!!
so no one needs to think I'm only advocating for black and white dogs.

But black and white dogs ARE the best. Just ask my 3

Are there such things as harlequin pugs? LOL! Do you know how many emails I get that say, "look, these would blend right into your household", and it is always pictures of black and white dogs.

Twister- you stated the VERY reason I was interested in TWO dogs/puppies. For company/companionship. Just like if I adopted some kittens- it would be at least two (as opposed to one. Lord, I realize I am trying to be so careful in my explanations so as to not draw criticism. It is slowing down my typing, frankly, and is ending now.).

My houseplan isn't well suited to anything, sadly. My lack of a extra room that I can close off is what keeps me from fostering cats/kittens. I do have a kitchen, and I could put up a gate, but, the cats eat in there, and I don't want to displace them.

Maybe I will just table this idea until I move into a larger home....who knows.

Black pugs can often have white marks on their chests.....

Good idea. It's better than plowing ahead with something & regreting that
decision later on. Dogs, like kids, should be non refundable.

I've always pictures you with a border collie. It comes in black and white and it can take you jogging every morning!

Now there is a thought...can it also help me wake up early, put on my shoes, and push me out the door? I think BCs need WAY more exercise than I could promise them. But, they could help me keep Jonah in line. He he he..

I'm sure it could easily do all that and more!

My fear is that I am not really committed to coming home during the day to let them out

This sentence leapt out at me and immediately made me realise that you would have the dogs best interests at heart - not your own. So many people bring a puppy into the home without really thinking it through (my husband for one!)
