I don't think it's fair in any way to get a dog when you both work full time. Not to suggest it would be badly treated, but I think it's very unfair on the dog to be home alone all day.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
