Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I (22F) live with my boyfriend (24M). We're both on the lease for my current apartment. I have two cats, a hamster and a mouse. I have wanted to get a dog for years, ever since I had to put down my childhood dog. I think it will help with my anxiety and depression issues as well as just be a great addition to my life. With our current apartment we have a fenced in yard and what I think is enough space to add a medium sized dog. I take care of all the animals, since they are mine, and would do the same with the new dog. My boyfriend has had to feed the cats like once or twice mostly when I was out of town but otherwise does nothing for their care. I want to start looking for a dog to rescue and add to my family. He doesn't think we have enough space and doesn't want to live with a dog "yet". We're planning to stay in this apartment for a while, so I don't know why the space would be an issue now and not later. I asked what I could do to help him feel ready for a dog and he didn't have an answer. I'm currently working part time and in school full time with most of my classes being online. This means my schedule is flexible and I'm home most days, which seems perfect for introducing a new pup. I feel like he'll never be "ready" to live with, not even take care of, a dog and that since he won't have to do anything with the dog it shouldn't be that big of a deal to get one. So what do you guys think? WIBTA if I get a dog?
