Right now I have two lovely indoor kitties.

I love large and medium dogs. Small isn't my favorite dog size, although I've always liked papillions. But I feel large dogs are the most huggable.

I won't be able to get a dog for a while because right now I'm in an apartment . . . Saving up for a house, though! So I'm just planning and dreaming, LOL!

Some other traits I'd look for in a dog would be . . .

- friendly towards people and animals (I don't need a watchdog, I'm fine with a "lead strangers to the silverware" dog)
- receptive to training (not too stubborn or dense)
- doesn't see small animals as prey (due to the cats)

I know it depends a lot on the individual dog, of course.

Do you think that would be enough exercise for a dalmation? I've always admired them, but I've heard they have a ton of energy. Not that that's my ONLY choice, it's just a breed I was thinking about.

I also have to decide between a puppy versus an adult . . . I love puppies (doesn't everyone, LOL!), but maybe it would be easier to get an older, calmer dog used to the cats.

(Or I could get one of each.)
