Pretty much as the title. I've been thinking about getting a dog (preferably a rescue/adoption). However the thing holding me back is that when life was normal, I'd be out of the house 8am to about 7.30pm, as I'd work my then go to the gym. I live alone, and in the UK if that helps.
And that doesn't seem fair to the animal to leave them alone all day...
Other points are that the house up the road has dogs, and they constantly bark and fight, so i think I'd have to be careful around going out to make sure they don't come into conflict.
If I got a dog though, I probably wouldn't use the gym as much meaning most days I'd be home by 5 and walk them instead.
I've considered a cat, but my house is an end terrace and is right next to a busy main road, and with the other dogs it's probably not a good idea.
I've also considered birds for company, would they suit?
I'd rather not have lizards/snakes or fish, as they don't seem as interesting to me. I prefer animals I can play and interact with.
