I've pretty much decided on this girl http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=13479236

The only problem is that my boyfriend (who currently lives in England but will be coming here next year) doesn't think I should get another dog. Not while I live in a condo and work the hours I do. Which basically means I shouldn't have a dog for a VERY long time. We have plans of moving out of the city, but that will be at the very least 2-3 years, and that's being optimistic.

He said I can do whatever I want, but it's hard when I know he's expressed his opinions and think I shouldn't. And while I can do whatever I want, he will be a part of my household that will contain the dog.

He's said I can foster. And here's the clincher: I have an opportunity to foster 2 dogs (from separate organizations).

I'm kind of torn. While I do like the idea of fostering, I don't like the fact I'll be passing up a perfect dog for me. And this IS a 12+ year commitment, whereas a foster will be limited.
