So... I very much want a dog... have wanted one.. have always had one....large breeds.. English Springer Spainel... Golden Retiriever..

I located a Black Lab... that is 4 years old... she is being re-homed from a very caring family.... she is a "nipper"... with children - if the children push at her...too much...and since this family lives in sub-division - there are children all around...

I have been trying to decide.. if I can do.. an adopted dog... or if I should get a very small breed puppy.. and grow the puppy up...

I am worried about having enough energy for a large bred dog, whether the dog will "adopt" me too...

I have fibrom... so walks are out for me....

what do you think???
