Im sure there are plenty on here who have dogs. Well tonight me & Gem have been to see a little Westie pup which my uncle currently owns. Its only 11 weeks, I think he's bought it without thinking about it really. The dog is a pedigree and has the pedigree with her.

We're seriously thinking of buying her, however we're not 100% certain whether our occupations cause problems with owning her.

I work shifts, meaning 5 days a month I'm out of the house from 7-5 and she's away from 8:30 til 5.30. This means that the dog is potentially at home between 8:30 til 5. Ive been asking my mam whether she wants to look after the dog on these days (she is a previous westie owner) however I dont want to burden her with having her.

Outside of that, Im at home a lot, and find myself bored a lot of the time. On the flip side, we're only 26 & 24 and wonder how much of a sacrifice of owning a dog will be.

Anyone help me on this one?
