Been thinking about getting one. However my minds playing over time as usual.
Think its fair to pack it off to live elsewhere when i'm not at home for a fortnight at a time??? 
Elsewhere would be Mates, sisters, grans, parents (Although there not very keen already having a dog) whoevers available really.
When i'm home i'm home for 2-4 weeks at a time & rarely go out for longer than a few hours.

Whats my situation?
Work?
My mate that works 28/28 in Singapore has a dog
Someone would take it in while i'm away. I'm just looking for a house companion I guess, gets a bit lonely up here on your own.

You work off-shore, I don't really need to say any more, surely? You know it's a silly idea, that's why you're asking.

They are really good company and do get you out when you normally wouldnt. Mine sits next to me when i am working from home which is most days; here is is sat next to me at my desk now
But they really are a tie; and would be a big ask on friends and family as they do change your life.
They also get your car bloody hairy!!

if you had someone at your home to look after it yeh, but moving it out is a bit 
We got Bruno about 4 months ago He's fucking ACE!
He's now 6 and a bit months old.
Fee's got him full time just now but he hangs out with me all day when I'm home.

I thought about taking one of my dads puppies a little while back. I'm out all morning and afternoon, but back every day at lunch and evenings and weekends.
Top floor flat though, as much as I would like one I think it too cruel.

Ive got a large enough house, decent sized garde huge field at the back of my house, massive park 5mins away. Would be ideal.
Its just the working away think, I dont see it a huge problem having someone look after it on a regular basis.
I think its more cruel the people that leave them locked indoors in the house 9-5 when out at work as I know people do, or in small flats with no garden!!

I'd have thought the dog would like a change of environment, my parents have a dag, old man walks it 3x a day at local woods.
Might be a good thing.

I wouldn't do it as I think it'd be a burden on someone else. They don't have a dog as they don't want one, yet if you ask them to have it they can hardly say no.
If that makes sense.
