I was toying with the idea of perhaps eventually maybe possibly getting a dog from the pound when I move into my house. This thread is a good one, because I do like to travel. I think I'll wait until my travel bug subsides, if that ever happens. Plus, the last time I had a dog, you just let it do its business and kept moving. I'm really glad dogowners cleanup after their dogs, but I really don't know if I'd be up to that task. Makes me appreciate paying dogwalkers $$ for doing it instead.

The neighbor has a nice cat who seems to like to hang out on the porch. I've only been to the house a few times for the inspection, etc., but that cat has come to visit almost every time. I think I'll borrow it.
