To answer the obvious questions: Yes, I love dogs. Yes I've had dogs in the past. 3 German Shepherds growing up in small farm town Ohio. While I was a kid though... Never had a dog of my own, on my own. 

Now age 32. Standard middle class living. 2 story town home + basement in Dublin. No back yard, but have a large courtyard directly outside my front door. Work in Upper Arlington 4 days a week, from home 1 day a week. No kids or wife. Just your standard bachelor pad but with "nicer" things than in my 20s bachelor days.

Been looking seriously at getting a dog this past year but have not pulled the trigger yet. I now have the opportunity to put in a deposit on a puppy of the breed I would like. Just curious if any other middle aged bachelors have taken the "single dad" solo pup jump and if there are horror stories to be aware of that I may not be thinking about?

Speaking of dogs. Hoping a healthy random convo can hold us over until BoT lets us off this leash of our own...
