	I suggest you go to the local humane society and look for a nice
dog. I got a 6 yr. old pure golden retriever at our local h.s. 3 yrs. ago
and it has been a great dog. It stays alone in the house all day. I don't 
feel bad about leaving him alone all day because he's alot better off stuck
in the house than being dead, which is what he would have been if I didn't 
take him. He had been there a week longer than than the normal 2 week 
max. already. They kept him alive that long because he was such a nice dog, 
but usually nobody wants an older dog. Dusty was fully trained and is a 
great dog.
                                              good luck!
