    Hi All,

    What are people's thoughts on a cockapoo?

    A cockapoo is a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, both very intelligent and energetic dogs (particularly the spaniel bit).

    While I don't profess to be an expert on either (or crosses), that dog is going to take a lot of stimulation and exercise to keep them happy and sane. Can you commit to providing that? From previous posts you both seem to have a lot of other commitments, and I thought you had conceded that your lifestyles didn't really suit dog ownership? (open to correction on that).

    Just seen another dog for adoption from a place near me. Gorgeous little cockapoo:-)

    My thoughts are the same as they were the last time you posted about a dog, and the time before that too: you're simply not in a position right now to be a dog owner. I'm sorry to keep saying this, because it's clear you really, really want a dog. But wanting a dog just isn't enough. There's a line I break out all the time in so many scenarios because it's applicable to so much: Maybe the question I should be asking myself isn't "Can I?", but "Should I?".
