Pets and living alone

1
•
Ok so I really want to get a dog (probably a small toy poodle or mix breed) and am starting as an Ms1. I think I can live within five minutes meaning I can come home for lunch to let a dog out, etc. I will not be living with someone who will have a different schedule and might even live alone (but that’s a separate problem of me not being sure if I’m ready to be far from home and alone...) I just wonder if anyone has done this and thinks it’s doable and what happens when I end up with clinical rotations and residency (which hopefully by then I can live with my SO)

Based on your situation, I think a small toy poodle or a mix breed would be a good choice. They don't need a lot of space and they're usually pretty easy to take care of. Plus, the fact that you can come home at lunchtime to let the dog out is a big plus. I get that clinical rotations and residency can be tough, and you might be worried about how to handle your dog during those busy times. But don't worry, lots of people have dealt with this situation before. It'll just take some planning and maybe finding a reliable dog sitter or doggy daycare for when you're not available. And hey, if you're worried about being alone when you're far away from home, have you thought about getting a low-maintenance pet like a tortoise? They can be great companions and they don't need as much attention as a dog. You could check out websites like https://www.tortoiseowner.com/do... for more info.
