WOW - just think a moment - if most people waited until they owned a home before they got a dog - there sure would be more homeless roving dogs than there are now - wow

And I'm a dog lover (I have two large breed rescues) so I'd never tell you to get rid of yours. I do have to say that as much as I REALLY wanted a dog, I waited until I was well set in a house that I owned before I made that commitment.

I don't agree with that. I think there'd be a spike in euthenasia followed by a reduction in overall population followed by a larger population of dogs enjoying lives not interrupted by bi-annual rehoming.
In any case, if the leading animal (human) is unable to care for itself, it really has no business caring for other animals.
That is great!! I am truly happy for you. Sounds like you are in the ideal spot no matter what happens. I have a friend that has similar life events as you posted - while she was going through it - she had emphaty for others - but when things improved - she lost that emphaty - just because she got it everybody should also get it regardless of circumstances - she became unreasonably judge-mental and unsensitive based on what she now has

Not true - blue collar, admin asst jobs are just as competitive as professional HR etc

annerk is a lonely medicated aging women who thinks everyone makes six figures a yeat like she does
Annerk doesn't make six figures working in Orlando, FL.
On occasion she has contradicted herself. A good example of was when someone walked into her company dressed poorly and she turned him away.
So she sits close enough to the front door to see him. So she has a front office position, they don't pay six figures for those in NY or CA, never mind the land of low wages(Florida).
She is not the CEO, she has some combo admin. asst/HR role for a company that hires low paying labor jobs.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, but she enjoys feeling superior to others, yet when called on her bad behavior, she doesn't respond in a timely manner, because it takes her awhile to come up with a story.
In the 20's thru 60's - most so called poor folks had a dog - they just were not designer/pampered dogs
