Dog desire

We had lunch with some friends yesterday in their garden with their dog. We were really taken with Corrie as she was a beautiful dog. It really reminded us that we would love a dog. I love the shot of this mutt from Guy Kawasaki's blog. The only problem is that we just don't really have the room for a dog at the moment. We live in a great area for them but I keep thinking the house is just too small that it wouldn't be fair on the dog or the neighbours...
