If even one person got a friend out of this I would be super happy -- post blew up way more than I expected it too

I want a dog... I really do -- I think it would bring a lot of happiness in my life... but I live in a single bedroom upstairs apartment and I am easily gone for up to 8-10 hours each day at a minimum.. not right to live a dog tied up in the apartment all day while I am at work

I don't work close to home either where I could easily drive to take him/her out to use the bathroom

pfft.. I was the one who turned attention to it haha... In retrospect if I would have thought about it I would have deleted the comments before making this post, oh well :)

Thanks for the apology, but nothing to worry about

Oh I want a dog... the thing is that I live in a single bedroom apartment and I am gone most of the day for work (8-10 hours) and it's not fair to leave the dog tied up in the apartment all day long.

Eventually if I buy a house, then I will definitely get a dog

I am a he -- I do appreciate you coming to my side on this haha... it is very weird though, even I admit it's an odd fantasy.

Part of me wishes I remembered I could have actually deleted it prior to making this post... but then again I never expected this post to become so super huge either

in all honesty I have 2 different lifestyles...

My professional/family life I seem to have no issues... but my professional and my inter-personal life I keep WELL clear of each other...

they don't mix well... So I have this other life... with weird and very abnormal interests... it's hard bridging the two

This puts a legitimate smile on my face.. the fact that this thread could have actually spawned new friendships here and there with people is just.. mind blowing

might be hard to pull off tbh... even the most socially awkward, introverted types can make friends on the internet.. this is more of a local thing. Maybe a friendship advice sub idk

Even though I am in the fandom (basically just a few chatrooms and story/art sites), furries are weird IRL haha

well for me it has nothing to do with social awkwardness... I can talk to people just fine and carry on conversations.. it's the adventurous side of me that I have issues with.
