Overhead kills more startups. It's all about cash flow. Bring a partner into the forumula and it's also about having a partner that is as solid as the lease . . ane then some.

Jeff... interesting. I think I would be okay with settling down a bit. I am also a fan of mutts. I want something midsize since I have a yard. A lap dog, or a dog I can place in my purse does not excite me too much. Also I would totally get a rescue dog rather then something from a breeder or pet shop. I will probably end up waiting a few months just to see what things are looking like at that point. My partner and I are looking at offices this month which would change my being at home 23.5x7 schedule.

It could be a sign that you are musing about settling down . . . just a little bit. A dog IS a real commitment. Could be healthy. Get you out for walking exercise. Might meet chics whilst walking. Shows chics that you are able to care about someone other than yourself. That might be bad since maybe you don't want them thinking that. On the whole it is big stuff but, in my experience, on the whole the payoff exceeds the investment. Just be sure to right-size your dog to your life. I'd suggest a mid-size mutt to start, possibly an animal shelter mixed pup. Mutts tend to be durable. My sister-in-law, who works for a vet, swears by mutts. So: plus side = sympathetic companion, exercise, meet chics, get you out of the house, some measure of security; negative = really being up to the commitment, 'cause they're putting their life in your hands and tend to get attached . .
