    I’ve never had a dog. Never had pets growing up, and my last relationship was with a guy who was more of a cat person, so I agreed to cats (which I also adore 😻). But I’ve always wanted a dog. I’m that person that will point out and remark on every dog I see in a 100 yard radius lol

    I’m living in a pretty cramped apartment right now, and feel like I want to hold off on adopting a dog until I have more space for it. But I also know it’s not impossible to raise a dog in an apartment (My Mom has a Havanese, who’s small, quiet and low-maintenance, and it seems to work just fine)

    Are any of you dog owners also apartment dwellers? I’m kinda curious about your experiences (good or bad!) 😊

    Just depends.. first check if the apartment allow pets..

    Had a roommate long time ago and he had a dog.. the apartment bldg is pet friendly so.

    Yeah, the building I’m in is pet friendly, and there’s a GIANT park right next to it that I see dogs in all the time πŸ₯°

    What kind of dog did your roommate have??

    I guess I’m trying to figure out how big/active of a dog I can get without it being a problem for me, the dog, OR my neighbours haha

    We were in a two room apartment.. he had a german shepherd.. πŸ˜†

    Eta
    Check out the breed and their temperament. Some breeds are ok living in tight places some are not.. just another thing to think about.

    And was it manageable? Or did it feel like a nuthouse? Lol I imagine bigger/more energetic dogs require more space to move around. I wouldn’t want the dog to feel agitated, to the point where they’re scratching at everything or jumping off the walls πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

    I love German Shepherds, they’re so smart and sweet πŸ₯°

    I absolutely love your pup. <3 But you better start lifting heavier weights to keep up. How big do those dogs get? :)

    @tmantwo
    Gorgeous and sweet dogs <3 Only 2 tennis balls? I've got 2 dogs, one loves her rope, the other loves her tennis balls and atm she's got around a dozen of them kicking around here, they're her crack. :)

    Mine is a Biewer Yorkie, she’s only 5Lbs. She’s a really good dog, super friendly, smart, hypoallergenic if that matters to you, doesn’t shed, can travel everywhere, she’s loving and hardly ever barks. She eats 1/4 cup of food 2X a day. Loves to bike ride in her little basket.
    I taught her to ring a bell with her foot when she needs to go to outside. Here she is with her messy hairπŸ™ˆ but I just wanted to show you. I bought Christmas bells and hung them at the front and back door. Sometimes she just rings them all day long!πŸ˜‚ I think a dog her size would be perfect for you, easy to train and love.πŸ’—

    So cute! I'm getting a Biewer Yorkie this summer, when he's old enough to leave his mum and breeder. I can't wait!

    Any advice for someone looking to get a dog? I want to get a puppy to be able to train. I live in an apartment so nothing too big or yapping. Any recommendations? A poodle?
