One day in the future, I will have lots of money and spare time. When I do, I'm going to buy a bulldog or a rottweiler and I will name him Huxley. This just seems like the perfect name for a dog like this, and not just because Thomas Huxley was Darwin's Bulldog and all that.
I do miss dog ownership, in some ways. But with my current schedule, I felt like I was even neglecting the cat. I mean, not like she wasn't being fed or cleaned, but I'd get home and she'd be desperate for attention, I'd go to sleep after a few minutes, then I'd get up in the morning and leave again. Little to no interaction. A cat can handle that, but a dog will lose its mind.
Also I'm in a condo. Rottweilers and bulldogs need some space.
And if it's a bulldog, it's going to be the ugliest damn bulldog you've ever seen. That's the point of a bulldog. They're hilarious.
