Dog, cat, both or neither?

We have about a 1/2 acre backyard, so I think if we did get a dog we would 1) put up a fence and 2) add a doggy door to the outside. I suppose that would alleviate some of my concerns about being away for the day. I work from home so I would be here most of the time, and could definitely be here during puppyhood - if we went that route. So I do think it’s feasible.

I’m OK with getting a sitter or boarding a dog when we travel and hubby will still be working another 8-10 years so we won’t be wanting to do any major traveling (for long periods of time) for another decade or so.
